Back To December
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 in the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Cause 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
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 missin' you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
And I 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 sleepin',
Stayin' up playing back myself leavin',
When your birthday passed
And I didn't call, then I think about summer,
All the beautiful times,
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came,
With the dark days when the 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 missin' you
Wishing that I 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, 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 go back to December,
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around
And make it all right
I go back to December, turn around
And change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time
