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 whi..le
You've been good
busier than ever
we small talk
work and the weather
Your guard is up
and I know wh...y
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
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 that I realised
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 sleeping
staying up playing
back myself leavin'
When your birthday
passed and
I didn't ca...ll
Then I think about summer
all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing
from the passenger side
and
Realised I loved you
in the fa...ll
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 that I realised
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 tanned 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
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 that I'd realised
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
