Back To December - [Lyrics]

[Dillon]

Back  to  December
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 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
It turns out freedom
ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what
I had when you 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 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,
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
It turns out freedom
ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd 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 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
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
It turns out freedom
ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what
I had when you 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
