Back to December

[00:12.68] I'm so glad you made time to see me

[00:16.93] How's life? Tell me how's your family?

[00:20.39] I haven't seen them in a while

[00:26.75] You've been good, busier than ever

[00:30.21] We small-talk, work and the weather

[00:33.93] Your guard is up and I know why

[00:40.57] Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind

[00:46.68] You gave me roses and I left them there to die

[00:53.32] So this is me swallowing my pride

[00:56.76] Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"

[01:02.69] And I go back to December all the time

[01:07.21] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

[01:10.92] Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

[01:16.24] I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right

[01:23.41] I go back to December all the time

[01:41.54] These days I haven't been sleeping

[01:44.46] Staying up, playing back myself leaving

[01:47.92] When your birthday passed and I didn't call

[01:54.06] And I think about summer, all the beautiful times

[01:58.04] I watched you laughing from the passenger side

[02:01.49] And realized I loved you in the fall

[02:08.40] And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind

[02:14.51] You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye"

[02:21.68] So this is me swallowing my pride

[02:24.60] Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night."

[02:30.44] And I go back to December all the time

[02:35.23] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

[02:38.68] Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

[02:44.01] I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

[02:50.91] I go back to December all the time

[03:07.93] I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile

[03:11.91] So good to me, so right

[03:15.10] And how you held me in your arms that September night:

[03:19.66] The first time you ever saw me cry

[03:23.12] Maybe this is wishful thinking

[03:26.04] Probably mindless dreaming

[03:29.76] But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

[03:35.60] I'd go back in time and change it but I can't

[03:42.24] So if the chain is on your door I understand

[03:49.15] But this is me swallowing my pride

[03:52.07] Standing in front of you, saying, "I'm sorry for that night."

[03:58.44] And I go back to December

[04:02.70] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

[04:06.42] Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

[04:11.46] I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right

[04:18.63] I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

[04:25.82] I go back to December all the time

[04:35.65] All the time
