Back to December lyrics

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.
We small talk, work and the weather.
Your guard is up and I know why.
 
'Cause 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,
wishing 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,
staying up playing back myself leaving
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 love and 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,
wishing 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 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.
 
But 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,
wishing 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.

Hi! Line 5 should be "we small talk, work AND the weather"
