I'm so glad you made the time to see me

We small talk, work and the weather

You're guard is up, and I know why

Because the last time you saw me

So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you saying

Turn around and make it all right

I go back to December all the time

Verse:
C
These days I haven't been sleeping
Am
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
F C G
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
C
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times

I watch you laughing from the passenger side
F C G
And realized I loved you in the fall

I miss your tan skin your sweet smile

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 you loved again I swear I'd love you right
