Back To December

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

We small talk, work in the weather

Your guard is up and I know why

Cause the last time you saw me

Still burns 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

I’m sorry for that night

And I go back to December all the time,

It turns out freedom ain’t

Nothing but missin’ you

Wishing I’d realized what

I had to blow that night

And I go back to December, turn around

And make it all right

I go back to December all the time...

These days I haven’t been sleepin’

Stayin’ up playing back myself leavin’

When your birthday passed

And I didn’t call, then

I think about summer,

All the beautiful times,

I watched you laughin’

From the passenger side

And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came,

With the dark days when

The 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 missin’ you

Wishing I’d realized what

I had to blow that night

And I go back to December, turn around

And change my own mind

I go back to December all the time...

I miss your tan 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

If we loved again,

I swear I’d love you right

I’d 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 Decembe,

It turns out freedom

Ain’t nothing but missin’ you

Wishing I’d realized what

I had to blow that night

I go back to December, turn around

And make it all right

I go back to December, turn around

And change my own mind

I go back to December all the time...

All the time...
