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 wh ile
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Y our guard is up, and I know wh y
Because the last time you saw me
Is still b urned 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 b ack 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 b ack to December, turn around and make it all right
I go back to December all the time
These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'
W hen your birthday passed, and I didn't ca ll
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
And then the cold came
The dark days when f ear 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 b ack 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 b ack to December, turn around and make it all right
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tanned skin, your s weet smile
So g ood to me, so right
And how you held me in your ar ms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
B ut 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
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go b ack 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 b ack 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 ti me
All the ti me
