I'd go back to December all the time.

I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life? Tell me bout 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 still burn 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 leaving.
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 that 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".

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.

December was always such a great month for us. Our anniversary and of course, our favourite celebration - Christmas. I still remember how we tried to slow dance (and failed) on Christmas Eve at your house when nobody was watching. Bet you forgotten, didn't you? :)
