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
B ecause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me ro ses, and I l eft 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 missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, tu rn around and make it all right
I go ba ck to December all the time
These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
A nd then the cold came
T he dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me al l your love
And all I g ave 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 missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, tu rn around and make it all right
I go ba ck to December all the time
I miss your ta nned skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you hel d me in your arms that September night
The first time you e ver saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go ba ck in time and ch ange it, but I can't
So if the cha in is on your door, I understand
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...
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, tu rn around and make it all right
I'd go ba ck to December, tu rn around and change my own mind
I go ba ck to December al l the time
All the time
