[Verse 1]
You laugh with your head thrown back
While the hallway loses shape
One small spark in a house gone black
One warm hand I can still take
The old clock stutters on the wall
Dust turns slow above the floor
You say my name and the dark lets go
Like it never owned us before
[Pre-Chorus]
If the night comes close
Let it learn our names
We have carried worse
We have walked through flame
[Chorus]
Love, keep laughing in the darkness
Make a doorway out of fear
When the silence tries to harm us
Pull me close, keep me here
Love, your laughter is a lantern
Bright enough to break the blue
If the whole world turns to ashes
I will find my way to you
[Drop]
Keep me here
Find my way to you
Keep me here
I will find my way to you
[Verse 2]
There are stains along the stairwell
From the rain we tracked inside
Your green coat hangs beside mine
Like a flag we never hide
We count the cracks across the ceiling
Trade our secrets, trade our breath
You make jokes about the ending
I make promises against it
[Pre-Chorus]
If the night comes close
Let it learn our names
We have carried worse
We have walked through flame
[Chorus]
Love, keep laughing in the darkness
Make a doorway out of fear
When the silence tries to harm us
Pull me close, keep me here
Love, your laughter is a lantern
Bright enough to break the blue
If the whole world turns to ashes
I will find my way to you
[Bridge]
No perfect sky above us
No promise carved in stone
Just your shoulder next to mine
And a place that feels like home
[Final Chorus]
Love, keep laughing in the darkness
Make a doorway out of fear
When the silence tries to harm us
Pull me close, keep me here
Love, your laughter is a lantern
Bright enough to break the blue
Let the blackness close around us
I will still come back to you
[Outro]
Keep laughing
Keep laughing
I will still come back to you
