Taylor Swift - Back To December

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

It 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 aint nothing but missing you

Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine

I 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 leaving

When you birthday passed

And I didn't call 

 

Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times

I watched you laughing

From the passenger side

And I 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 aint nothing but missing you

Wishing that I 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 aint nothing but missing you

Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and make it all right

I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time


All the time...
