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´d 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 leavin´ 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. 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. It turns out freedom ain´t nothing but missing you, Wishing I´d realized what I had when you were mine.
I´d go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time.
I miss your tanned 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 realize what I had when you were mine. I´d go back to December, turn around and make it all right. I´d go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time. All the time.
