Back to December Lyrics - Taylor Swift

1 I'm so glad you made time to see me

2 How's life? Tell me how's your family

3 I haven't seen them in a while

4 You've been good, busier than ever

5 We small talk, work and the weather

6 Your guard is up, and I know why

7 Because the last time you saw me

8 Is still burned in the back of your mind

9 You gave me roses, and I left them there to die

10 So this is me swallowing my pride

11 Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

12 And I go back to December all the time

13 It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

14 Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

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

16 I go back to December all the time

17 These days, I haven't been sleeping

18 Staying up, playing back myself leavin'

19 When your birthday passed, and I didn't call

20 And I think about summer, all the beautiful times

21 I watched you laughing from the passenger side

22 And realized I loved you in the fall

23 And then the cold came

24 The dark days when fear crept into my mind

25 You gave me all your love

26 And all I gave you was "Goodbye"

27 So this is me swallowing my pride

28 Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

29 And I go back to December all the time

30 It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

31 Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

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

33 I go back to December all the time

34 I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile

35 So good to me, so right

36 And how you held me in your arms that September night

37 The first time you ever saw me cry

38 Maybe this is wishful thinking

39 Probably mindless dreaming

40 But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

41 I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't

42 So if the chain is on your door, I understand

43 But this is me swallowing my pride

44 Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

45 And I go back to December...

46 It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

47 Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

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

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

50 I go back to December all the time

51 All the time
