Back to December - The Starlite Orchestra

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

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 missin' you

Wishin' I'd realized what I had

When you were mine

I 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

Stayin' up playing back myself leavin'

When your birthday passed

And I didn't call

Then I think about summer

All the beautiful times

I watched you laughing from the passenger side

And 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 loving 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 missin' you

Wishin' I'd realized

What I had when you were mine

I 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 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 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

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 missin' you

Wishin' I'd realized what I had

When you were mine

I go back to December turn around

And make it all right

I go back to December turn around

And change my own mind

I go back to December all the time

All the time
