These days I haven't been sleepin
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 laughin 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 lovin 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 nothin 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 dreamin
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
