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 wh ile
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know wh y
Cause 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 d ie
So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
Saying I'm sorry for that n ight
And I go back to December a ll the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when y ou were mine
I go back to December, t urn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
(x2)
These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't c all
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the f all
And when 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 ni ght
And I go back to December a ll the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when y ou were mine
I go back to December, t urn around and change my o wn mind
I go back to December a ll the time
(x2)
I miss your tan skin and your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you h eld me in your a rms that September n ight
The first time you ever saw me cr y
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 ch ange it, but I c an't
So if the chain is on your d oor, I unde rstand
But this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
Saying I'm sorry for that ni ght
And I go back to December --> comp in
It t urns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when y ou were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it a lright
I go back to December, t urn around and change my o wn mind
I go back to December a ll the time
