Back to December

I'd, I'd, I'd
This is me swallowing my pride
This is me swallowing my pride
Turn around and make it
I'd, I'd, I'd
This is me swallowing my pride
I'd, I'd, I'd go back to December
This is me swallowing my pride
I'd, I'd, I'd go back to December

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
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

This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd 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 all the time
I'd, I'd, I'd go back to December

These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I'm thinking 'bout summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came
Dark days when fear crept in my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I'd go back to December all the time
I'd, I'd, I'd go back to December

I miss your dancing, 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 met 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

This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd 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'd go back to December all the time
All the time
I'd, I'd, I'd go back to December

All the time
I'd, I'd, I'd go back to December

All the time
