17Squared - When You Come Home (RIP Eric Levi Ward) lyrics

[Chorus] When you come home, I'll stop this When you come home, I'll hide it good I'll never cry again When you come home, to me [Verse 1: Fattay] Eric Levi Ward a respectable marine Joined his dad, as the 4th in his family I remember as a kid man this was your dream And you died doin something you love, that's the thing, bro You me and Thomas playin games all night A 24 case of coke and Counter-Strike I remember your commercial and your beautiful smile I just wish you had the chance to stick around a lil while In 7th grade, I played football for the first time Everyday I wanted to quit and yeah I'd cry but You being you convinced me to stick it out So I can say that I'm no quitter, thank you for that now The cross around my neck reminds me that you're still here And the bracelet around my wrist ensures that you stay near So I'm sorry that we never took that roadtrip that you wanted But everywhere I go you, you are always with me bro Man I miss you... [Chorus] When you come home, I'll stop this When you come home, I'll hide it good I'll never cry again When you come home, to me [Verse 2: Leigh Solemn) Put that bracelet on my right so you my right hand man Fightin in Afghanistan and you were heightened man, yeah Eric Levi Ward we should be shooting basketball Or playing ding-dong-ditch doin pranks we did it all I was taught and raised if you got a problem solve it No matter what I do you ain't comin back and when I fought it It was driving me crazy, no chance for a call We can't finish that convo on my Facebook wall So many things unsaid, another ring un-wed An angel came to earth but with an angel comes d**h And we can mourn your d**h or we can celebrate your life So everybody raise your gla**es take a shot for Ward tonight Back when you and I had our first beer in 7th grade And when you and I would go to all the football games Its not time to say goodbye cause I know it won't be long We won't forget you, we miss you, I'll see you when I'm home And just know that... [Bridge] I saw you, again I knew just where you'd be I'll stop this, real soon when you're back safe with me [Chorus] When you come home, I'll stop this When you come home, I'll hide it good I'll never cry again When you come home, to me
