Lyrics

• 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 I'd realized what I had when you were mine

• 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

• 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 I'd realized what I had when you were mine

• 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, 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 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

• 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

• 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, all the time
