Back to December.

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
We 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

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 all right
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
And I think about summer, all the beautiful time
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
Realised I loved you in the fall

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 missed 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
If we 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'd 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 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
