Back to December

Lyrics

 * I'm so glad you made time to see me.
 * How's life? Tell me how's your family.
 * I haven't seen them in a while.
 * You've been good, busier than ever,
 * We small talk, work and the weather,
 * Your guard is up and I know why.
 * Because the last time you saw me
 * Is still burned in the back of your mind.
 * You gave me roses and I left them there to die.


 * So this is me swallowing my pride,
 * Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"
 * And I go back to December all the time.
 * It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
 * Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
 * I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
 * I go back to December all the time.


 * These days I haven't been sleeping,
 * Staying up, playing back myself leaving.
 * When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
 * And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
 * I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
 * Realized that I loved you in the fall.


 * And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
 * You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye".


 * So this is me swallowing my pride
 * Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
 * And I go back to December all the time.
 * It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
 * Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
 * I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
 * I go back to December all the time.


 * I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile,
 * So good to me, so right
 * And how you held me in your arms that September night
 * The first time you ever saw me cry.


 * Maybe this is wishful thinking,
 * Probably mindless dreaming,
 * But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.


 * I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.
 * So if the chain is on your door I understand.


 * But this is me swallowing my pride
 * Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
 * And I go back to December...
 * It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
 * Wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine.
 * I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
 * I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind


 * I go back to December all the time.
 * All the time.
