Taylor Swift Song Lyrics ( Album: Speak Now and Red )

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

Small talk, work and the weather

Your guard is up and I know why

Because the last time you saw me

Is still burning in the back of your mind

You gave me roses and I left them there to die

[Chorus]

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 all right

I go back to December all the time.

These days I haven’t been sleeping

Staying up late 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 laughing from the passenger side

And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came and the dark days

When fear crept into my mind

You gave me all your love

And all I gave you was goodbye

[Chorus]

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 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 texting, your sweet smiles.

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 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 in your door I understand

[Chorus]

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'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
