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 then ever

Small talk, work and the weather

Your guard is up and I know why

Cause the last time you saw me

Still burns 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

Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine

I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright

I go back to December all the time

These days I haven't been sleeping

Staying up playing back myself pleading

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

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

Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing that I 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 tan skin 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 my 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 on your door I understand

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

Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine

I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright

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

I go back to December all the time

All the time

this is my new favourite song!!!!! <3 <3 i havent had so many favourite english songs before haha. when i first heard this song, i thought the tune sounded not bad, but i wasnt exactly crazy over it (i preferred Taylor Swift's Enchanted! now i love both songs). but one day Back to December just got stuck in my head and i loved the lyrics! i'm really learning to appreciate music lyrics now xD and after that i found out that she sang this song for Taylor Lautner (yeah i'm really slow i realised :P) OMGGGG! :'( poor taylor lautner. initially i was so smitten by Enchanted which she sang for Adam Young. and then i realised Back to December in the same album was for Taylor Lautner???! O.O tsktsk. but i still love Taylor Swift's songs. so beautiful (: (:
