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 awhile.
You’ve been good, busier than ever.
Small talk, workand 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.
(CHORUS)
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 it around and make it all right.
I’d go back to December all the time.
(VERSE 2)
These days, I haven’t been sleeping.
Staying up late playing myself leaving.
When you’re 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
I 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.
(CHORUS)
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 it around and change my own mind.
I’d go back to December all the time.
(BRIDGE)
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 myself dreaming, (?)
But 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.
(CHORUS)
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 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 it around and make it all right.
I’d go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
I’d go back to December all the time.
All the time
