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
My guard is up, bet you know why
Because the last time I saw you
still burns in the back of my mind
I gave you roses but you left them there to die
Now your swallowin’ your pride
Standin' in front of me sayin' “I'm sorry for that night”
And though I go back to December all the time
You should’ve known I would never leave you
Should’ve realized what you had at that time
Though I'd go back to December, Its too late to make it alright
Wish I could go back to December all the time
These days, I haven't been sleepin'
I stayed up playin' back your shadow leavin'
When my birthday passed and you didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
We were sittin’ there together in the passenger's side
And I still wish you had loved me before the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear lurked into your mind
I gave you all my love and all you gave me was goodbye
Now your swallowin’ your pride
Standin' in front of me sayin' “I'm sorry for that night”
And though I go back to December all the time
You should’ve known I would never leave you
Should’ve realized what you had at that time
Though I'd go back to December, and try to make it alright
Wish I could 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'
Probably mindless dreamin'
But if we loved again, just swear that you’d love me right
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
‘Cause the chains are stopping me, I hope you understand
But you’re here swallowin’ your pride
Standin' in front of me sayin' “I'm sorry for that night”
And though I go back to December all the time
You should’ve known I would never leave you
Should’ve realized what you had at that time
Though I'd go back to December, and try to make it alright
Wish I could go back to December all the time
Though I'd go back to December, and try to make it alright
Wish I could go back to December all the time
All the time
