Back to December
I'm so glad you made time to see meHow's life? Tell me, how's your family?I haven't seen them in a whileYou've been good; busier than everWe small talk, work in the weatherYour guard is up and I know whyCause the last time you saw meStill burns in the back of your mindYou gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride,Standing in front of you sayingI'm sorry for that nightAnd I go back to December all the time,It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' youWishing that I realized what I had when you were mineAnd I go back to December, turn aroundAnd make it all rightI go back to December all the time
These days I haven't been sleepin',Stayin' up playing back myself leavin',When your birthday passedAnd I didn't call, then I think about summer,All the beautiful times,I watched you laughin' from the passenger sideAnd realized I loved you in the fallAnd then the cold came,With the dark days when the fear crept into my mindYou gave me all your loveAnd all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride,Standing in front of you sayingI'm sorry for that nightAnd I go back to December all the time,It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' youWishing that I realized what I had when you were mineAnd I go back to December, turn aroundAnd change my own mindI go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile,So good to me, so rightAnd how you held me in your armsThat September night;The first time you ever saw me cryMaybe this is wishful thinkingProbably mindless dreamingIf we loved again, I swear I'd love you rightI'd go back in time and change it but I can'tSo if the chain is on your door I understand
But this is me swallowing my pride,Standing in front of you sayingI'm sorry for that nightAnd I go back to December,It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' youWishing that I realized what I had when you were mineI go back to December, turn aroundAnd make it all rightI go back to December, turn aroundAnd change my own mindI go back to December all the time
All the time
