A Place In This World

.
How's life, tell me how's your family 
I haven't seen them in a while 
You've been good, busier than ever 
With small talk, working the weather 
Your guard is up and I knowwhy 
Because the last time you saw me still burns 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 ofyou 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 And 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 
Whenyour 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, that feeling crept 
into my mind 
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye 

I miss your tan skin and your sweet smile 
Sogood 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 ifyou 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 

So this is me swallowing my pridestanding 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 weremine 
And 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
