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

With small talk, working the weather

Your guard is up and I know why 


Because the last time you saw me still burns 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
And I go back to December, turn around and make it alright

I go back to December all the time 


These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving 

When your birthday passed and I didn't call 


Then 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, that feeling 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

And I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time



I miss your tan skin
and 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 
P
robably mindless dreaming 

But 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 

And I go back to December, turn around and make it alright

I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time



All the time ..
