I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life? Tell me how's your ____________?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier than ever,
We small talk, work and the ____________,
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 ____________.

So this is me swallowing my ____________,
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 ____________.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the ____________.

These days I haven't been ____________,
Staying up, playing back myself leaving.
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful ____________,
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
Realized I loved you in the ____________.

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 "____________".

So this is me swallowing my ____________
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 ____________.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the ____________.

I miss your tanned skin, your sweet ____________,
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me ____________.

Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless ____________,
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 ____________.

But this is me swallowing my ____________
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 missing you,
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were ____________.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.
All the time.
