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 then 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.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing 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 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

And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
Realized that 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.

Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I 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 I held you 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.

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.

Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright.

I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time.
All the time

All the time
