back to December

Im so glad you made time to see me.
Hows life? Tell me hows your family.
I havent seen them in a while.
Youve 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, 'Im sorry for that night,'
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you.
Wishing Id realized what I had when you were mine.
Id go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.
These days I havent been sleeping,
Staying up, playing back myself leavin.
When your birthday passed and I didnt 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, 'Im sorry for that night.'
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you,
Wishing Id realized what I had when you were mine.
Id 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 Id love you right.
Id go back in time and change it but I cant.
So if the chain is on your door I understand.
But this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, 'Im sorry for that night.'
And I go back to December...
It turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you,
Wishing Id realize what I had when you were mine.
Id go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
Id go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.
All the time.
