Back To December lyrics

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 and the weather
your guard is up
and I know why...

Because 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 die

So, this is me
swallowin' my pride
standin' in front of you sayin'
I'm sorry for that night
and I go back
to December all the time

It turns out freedom
ain't nothin' but missin' you
wishin' I'd realised
what I had
when you were mine

I'd 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
playin' back myself leavin'
when your birthday passed
and I didn't call...

And I think about summer
all the beautiful times
I watched you laughin'
from the passenger side
and realised 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
swallowin' my pride
standin' in front of you sayin'
I'm sorry for that night
and I go back
to December all the time

It turns out freedom
ain't nothin' but missin' you
wishin' I'd realised
what I had
when you were mine

I'd go back to December
turn around
and change my own mind
I go back
to December all the time

I miss your tanned 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 thinkin'
probably mindless dreamin'
but 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
swallowin' my pride
standin' in front of you sayin'
I'm sorry for that night
and I go back
to December

It turns out freedom
ain't nothin' but missin' you
wishin' I'd realised
what I had
when you were mine

I'd go back to December
turn around
and make it all right
I'd go back to December
turn around
and change my own mind

I go back
to December all the time
all the time...
