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
With small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Because the last time you saw me
You still burned in the back of your mind I
gave you roses and you 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
realize what I had when you were mine
I go back to December,
turn around and make it alright
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
Then I think about summer,
all the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the passenger
side And 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 realize what I had when
you were mine I go back to December,
turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time
Your pale skin,
your sweet smile So good to me,
so right
And how I held you in my arms that September night
The first time I ever saw you cry Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming But if we loved again,
I swear I'd love you
right I 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 go back to December,
turn around and make it alright I go back to December,
turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time All the time
