Back to December - Taylor Swift

Pondered by = Christine =

A youtube tab of this music video hv been opened on my Chrome and repeatedly playing for weeks now.

Love this orchestral country pop ballad, especially the indelible melody accompanied by the dark mood and the pleading lyrics.

Life is rough and heartbreaking at times. Do you hv a time in the year that you always think back on? Or when the calendar turn into that particular month, memories would flood back? I believe each one would hv ours and mine ain't December.



= Back To December =
Taylor Swift


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


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 missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
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 missing 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


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 missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time
