Lyrics — “If I Don’t Come Home” by @velvet_hour_x
Song inspired by the Paratrooper Drop Challenge: https://budgetpixel.com/challenges/paratrooper-drop-2026-08-22 [Verse 1] My kit is packed beside the runway lights Your photograph is tucked inside my pocket The engines wait like thunder in the dark Tonight I’ll jump behind the enemy lines [Pre-Chorus] I touch your picture one more time And think of all we left behind [Chorus] If I don’t come home, remember me The way I was when you said yes I’m going to jump into the dark And I don’t know if I’ll come back [Verse 2] I hear your laughter in our little kitchen I see us dancing barefoot late at night You held my hand and told me about the baby I told you I would make it home all right [Pre-Chorus] I hear your voice inside my head And hold on to the words you said [Chorus] If I don’t come home, remember me The way I was when you said yes I’m going to jump into the dark And I don’t know if I’ll come back [Bridge] I board the plane in the dead of night If I don’t make it back, forgive me, love Take care of yourself, our child, and my old folks I’m sorry for the years I might not give you [Final Chorus] If I don’t come home, remember me The way I was when you said yes I’m going to jump into the dark And I don’t know if I’ll come back The jump light turns green, cold air fills the door My last thought before I jump is home

Thank you, glad you like it! It took me quite a while to work on the lyrics with ChatGPT’s help, and I generated a few different versions of the song before I finally got to this one. I love how it turns out 😊
