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 realized what I had
When you were mine
I'd go back to December
Turn around and make it alright
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
Then I think about summer
All the beautiful times
I watched you laughin'
From the passenger's side
And realized 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 realized 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 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 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 realized what I had
When you were mine
I'd go back to December
Turn around and make it alright
I'd go back to December
Turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time
