Back to December

We love Taylor Swift around here, and her new video dropped today.  It's amazing.  "Back to December" is one of my favorite songs on the album, so I was excited to see it released.  (Here's hoping "Dear John," my other favorite, is next!)  Taylor's style is really maturing, and this video definitely showcases that.  Make sure you stay tuned to 1:50 (my favorite part) because I've been at that moment so many times.  I think the world loves Taylor because her songs remind us of ourselves.  I really think everyone, at some point in their lives, has been able to relate to the majority of her songs.  I love that.  I can't wait to see her a second time this summer!  :)


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 then 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. 
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, 
Wishing that I 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. 
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times 
I watched you laughing from the passenger side 
Realized that I loved you in the fall. 
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. 
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, 
Wishing that I 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. 
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 
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. 

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. 
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, 
Wishing that I 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. 
All the time
