It seems to me like Ada is either the speaker's good female friend who is getting married, or the speaker's fiancee about to be married to him. Even on the day of their wedding, Ada is having doubts.
"Ada don't talk about reasons why you don't want to
Talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk"
She keeps going round and round the subject and her feelings on marriage. She is unsure if she wants to go through with it.
"Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
All alone, all together, all together in the dark
Leave it all up in the air"
Everybody who is invited to the wedding reception is dressed formally and seated, waiting for the bride to come in. They are "in the dark", as in they do not know what is happening. "Leave it all up in the air"- Ada is not sure what she wants.
The speaker is "inside an empty tuxedo" with "grapes in [his] mouth... Waiting for Ada". The speaker is dressed in a tuxedo, indicating he is either a guest at the wedding reception, or possibly the groom. The part about grapes in his mouth may suggest that either he has a sour taste, meaning that he does not feel good about the situation of her marriage, or that he is unable to talk.
When the speaker says he can "hear the sound of [Ada's] laugh through the wall", I think about him waiting outside her dressing room and hearing her laugh, maybe with her bridesmaids.
In the end, the speaker hopes that Ada makes the right decision- "Ada I've been hoping you know your way around".

This makes so much more sense.
