"Back To December (Taylor's Version)"

[00:13.62] I'm so glad you made time to see me

[00:17.34] How's life? Tell me, how's your family?

[00:20.53] I haven't seen them in a while

[00:27.18] You've been good, busier than ever

[00:30.63] We small talk, work and the weather

[00:34.17] Your guard is up and I know why

[00:40.82] Because the last time you saw me

[00:43.21] Is still burned in the back of your mind

[00:46.73] You gave me roses and I left them there to die

[00:53.90] So, this is me swallowing my pride

[00:56.56] Standin' in front of you sayin', "I'm sorry for that night"

[01:02.93] And I go back to December all the time

[01:07.45] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you

[01:10.97] Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

[01:16.81] I go back to December, turn around and make it alright

[01:23.45] I go back to December all the time

[01:28.76] .

[01:41.79] These days, I haven't been sleeping

[01:44.73] Stayin' up, playing back myself leavin'

[01:48.45] When your birthday passed and I didn't call

[01:54.56] Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times

[01:58.10] I watched you laughin' from the passenger side

[02:01.28] And realized I loved you in the fall

[02:08.72] And then the cold came, the dark days

[02:11.38] When fear crept into my mind

[02:14.56] You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

[02:21.76] So, this is me swallowing my pride

[02:24.46] Standin' in front of you, sayin', "I'm sorry for that night"

[02:30.83] And I go back to December all the time

[02:35.35] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you

[02:38.82] Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

[02:44.66] I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

[02:51.30] I go back to December all the time

[02:56.63] (Instrumental Interlude)

[03:08.05] I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile

[03:12.30] So good to me, so right

[03:14.96] And how you held me in your arms that September night

[03:19.74] The first time you ever saw me cry

[03:23.50] Maybe this is wishful thinkin'

[03:26.96] Probably mindless dreaming

[03:29.88] But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

[03:35.99] I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't

[03:42.36] So, if the chain is on your door, I understand

[03:49.56] But this is me swallowing my pride

[03:52.49] Standin' in front of you, sayin', "I'm sorry for that night"

[03:58.62] And I go back to December

[04:03.17] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you

[04:06.63] Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

[04:12.46] I go back to December, turn around and make it alright

[04:19.16] I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

[04:26.07] I go back to December all the time

[04:32.24] .

[04:36.16] All the time

[04:39.64] .
