"Back To December" <br /> <br />I'm so glad you made time to see me. <br />How's life? Tell me how's your family? <br />I haven't seen them in a while. <br />You've been good, busier than ever, <br />We small talk, work and the weather, <br />Your guard is up and I know why. <br />Because the last time you saw me <br />Is still burned in the back of your mind. <br />You gave me roses and I left them there to die. <br /> <br />So this is me swallowing my pride, <br />Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night," <br />And I go back to December all the time. <br />It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you. <br />Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine. <br />I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right. <br />I go back to December all the time. <br /> <br />These days I haven't been sleeping, <br />Staying up, playing back myself leavin'. <br />When your birthday passed and I didn't call. <br />And I think about summer, all the beautiful times, <br />I watched you laughing from the passenger side. <br />Realized I loved you in the fall. <br /> <br />And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind <br />You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye". <br /> <br />So this is me swallowing my pride <br />Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night." <br />And I go back to December all the time. <br />It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, <br />Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine. <br />I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind <br />I go back to December all the time. <br /> <br />I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile, <br />So good to me, so right <br />And how you held me in your arms that September night <br />The first time you ever saw me cry. <br /> <br />Maybe this is wishful thinking, <br />Probably mindless dreaming, <br />But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right. <br /> <br />I'd go back in time and change it but I can't. <br />So if the chain is on your door I understand. <br /> <br />But this is me swallowing my pride <br />Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night." <br />And I go back to December... <br />It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, <br />Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine. <br />I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right. <br />I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind <br /> <br />I go back to December all the time. <br />All the time.
