back to december

I'm so glad you made the 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
You're guard is up, and I know why
 
Because the last time you saw me
It's still burned 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 missing you    
Wishing I'd realized 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 sleeping
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
           When your birthday passed and I didn't call          
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times
I watch you laughing from the passenger 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 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, 
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 you 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 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 

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

it reminds me of you ): ♥
