Song #58 (Back To December)

Back To December

     ~Taylor Swift

~

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 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 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
