Back to December - Taylor Swift (lyrics) I\u0027m so glad you made time to see me How\u0027s life? Tell me, how\u0027s your family? I haven\u0027t seen them in a while You\u0027ve 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 swallowin\u0027 my pride Standin\u0027 in front of you sayin\u0027 I\u0027m sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain\u0027t nothin\u0027 but missin\u0027 you Wishin\u0027 I\u0027d realized what I had when you were mine I\u0027d go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December all the time These days, I haven\u0027t been sleepin\u0027 Stayin\u0027 up playin\u0027 back myself leavin\u0027 When your birthday passed and I didn\u0027t call Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times I watched you laughin\u0027 from the passenger\u0027s 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 swallowin\u0027 my pride Standin\u0027 in front of you sayin\u0027 I\u0027m sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain\u0027t nothin\u0027 but missin\u0027 you Wishin\u0027 I\u0027d realized what I had when you were mine I\u0027d 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 thinkin\u0027 Probably mindless dreamin\u0027 But if we loved again, I swear I\u0027d love you right I\u0027d go back in time and change it, but I can\u0027t So if the chain is on your door, I understand But this is me swallowin\u0027 my pride Standin\u0027 in front of you sayin\u0027 I\u0027m sorry for that night And I go back to December It turns out freedom ain\u0027t nothin\u0027 but missin\u0027 you Wishin\u0027 I\u0027d realized what I had when you were mine I\u0027d go back to December, turn around and make it alright I\u0027d go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time All the time
