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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
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
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
CHORUS
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
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
