Lyrics
i'm so glad u made time to see me
how's life? tell me, how's ur family?
i haven't seen them in a while
u've been good, busier than ever
we small talk, work and the weather
ur guard is up, and i know why
because the last time u saw me
is still burned in the back of ur mind
u gave me roses, and i left them there to die
so this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of u, 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 u
wishing i'd realized what i had when u 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 ur birthday passed, and i didn't call
then i think about summer, all the beautiful times
i watched u laughing from the passenger side
and realized i loved u in the fall
and then the cold came, the dark days
when fear crept into my mind
u gave me all ur love, and all i gave u was goodbye
so this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of u, 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 u
wishing i'd realized what i had when u were mine
i go back to december, turn around and change my own mind
i go back to december all the time
i miss ur tan skin, ur sweet smile
so good to me, so right
and how u held me in ur arms that september night
the first time u ever saw me cry
maybe this is wishful thinking
probably mindless dreaming
but if we loved again, i swear i'd love u right
i'd go back in time and change it, but i can't
so if the chain is on ur door, i understand
this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of u, saying i'm sorry for that night
and i go back to december
it turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing u
wishing i'd realized what i had when u 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
