Back to December
Im so glad you made time to see me
Hows life, tell me hows your family?
I havent seen them in awhile.
Youve been good, busier than ever.
Small talk, work and 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 Im sorry for that night.
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you
Wishing Id realized what I had when you were mine.
Id go back to December turn it around and make it all right.
Id go back to December all the time.
These days, I havent been sleeping.
Staying up late playing myself leaving.
When youre 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.
(Repeat Chorus)
(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 Id love you right.
Id go back in time and change it, but I cant.
So if the chain is on your door, I understand.
(Repeat Chorus)
