I'm so glad you made time to see meHow's life, tell me how's your familyI haven't seen them in a whileYou've been good, busier then everWe small talk, work and the weatherYour guard is up and I know why
'Cause the last time you saw meIs still burned in the back of your mindYou gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my prideStanding in front of you saying I'm sorry for that nightAnd I'd go back to December all the timeIt turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing youWishing I'd realized what I had when you were mineI'd go back to DecemberTurn around and make it all rightI'd go back to December all the time
These days I haven't been sleepingStaying up playing back myself leavingWhen your birthday passed and I didn't callAnd I think about summer, all the beautiful timesI watched you laughing from the passenger side andRealized I loved you in the fallAnd then the cold came, the dark daysWhen fear crept into my mindYou gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride standing in front ofYou saying I'm sorry for that nightAnd I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing yoUWishing I'd realized what I had when you were mineI'd go back to DecemberTurn around and change my own mindI'd go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smileSo good to me, so rightAnd how you held me in your arms that September nightThe first time you ever saw me cryMaybe this is wishful thinkingProbably mindless dreamingIf we loved again I swear I'd love you rightI'd go back in time and change it but I can'tSo if the chain is on your door, I understand
But this is me swallowing my pride standing in front ofYou saying I'm sorry for that nightAnd I'd go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing youWishing I'd realized what I had when you were mineI'd go back to DecemberTurn around and make it alrightI'd go back to DecemberTurn around and change my own mindI'd go back to December all the timeAll the time
