BACK TO DECEMBER

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 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 in 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, playingback myself leavin'
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 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 your 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 realized 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.
