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

You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowin' my pride
Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you
Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days, I haven't been sleepin'
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughin' from the passenger's side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days

All the time

[@lUfmUzik93]

You are just like cleaning the dust off these songs and make them bright again showing us how good these songs are and your voice also .. I love your voice and taylor swift songs together !

[@JoshRabenold]

Thank you so much!

[@MrNeofighter123]

Something to enjoy while on home quarantine ❤️❤️❤️

[@JoshRabenold]

Indeed!

[@caspyyyy]

This cover is way better than the 800k views cover. It was just full of hype from the Filipino viewers. I know because I am a Filipino myself. Way more powerful and you can feel the emotion from the song. This deserves million views.

[@JoshRabenold]

thanks so much!!!

[@dikaimamramadhan5735]

BACK TO DECEMBER IS MY FAV SONGS IN SPEAK NOW ALBUM. BUT YOU DO IT, AND I'AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS VERSION :)

[@zacharywan2004]

You let me down. Where was this when I was going through a break up😕 This was the voice ive been waiting for to do this song cover! Absolutely amazing mate!

[@JoshRabenold]

Thanks Zachary!

[@B2STLover501]

Listening to this while on quarantine ❤️ omg so good

[@JoshRabenold]

Thank you!

[@tanmoydutta4159]

Thank you for making the male version of it, now boys can relate even more.

[@JoeWadeFromSwiftzerland-France]

I was just looking for a cover of my favorite song which is Back to December, the first cover I saw was like I just said it was a hard song to sing... it was a girl well then I tried one more cover which is this one and damn! It was really well done how a male can sing such a so high song like this one so well, It may be very hard for me to get satisfaction from a cover of this TS song but wow

[@JoshRabenold]

Thank you! Glad you like it!

[@rainbowhawk911]

Beautiful voice! God has given you a gift!

[@AngelsHound56]

So i decided to make another version, where in this case would be the significant others P.O.V. Idk was bored and decided, why not? anyway here's the lyrics if anyone wanted to kinda read it/sing it in time with this version. :)
You’re so glad I made time to see you
You ask me, how is my family?
You haven’t seen them in a while…
I’ve been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
My guard is up, and you know why…
Because the last time I saw you
Still haunts the back of my mind
I gave you roses, and you left them there to die…
So, this is you swallowing your pride
Standing in front of me making excuses for that night?
And you think back to December all the time.
So, it turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing me
Wishing you’d realized what you had when I was yours?
Would you go back to December turn around and make it all right?
Cause you go back to December all the time.
These days, you haven’t been sleeping
Staying up late playing back your self leaving.
And when my birthday passed, and you didn’t call
Do you think about summer and all the beautiful times?
When you watched me laughing from the passenger side
When you realized, I loved you, after all.
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into your mind
I gave you all my heart and all you gave me was goodbye…
So, this is me taking my time,
Standing in front of you saying, “I’m done” as I cry
And I think back to December all the time.
So, it turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
Wishing you’d realized what you had when I was yours
Would you go back to December, turn around and change your own mind?
Cause I think back to December all the time.
You miss my tan skin, my sweet smile, so good to you, so right
And how I held you in my arms that dreadful night,
The first time I ever saw you cry
Maybe this was fearful thinking
Probably a short-lived feeling
But if I loved again, do you swear you’d love me right?
wish you would go back in time and change it, though you can’t
So, the chain is on my door, I hope you understand.
So, this is us swallowing our pride
Standing here in front of each other speaking our minds.
And we think back to December
So, it turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing us
Wishing we'd realized what we'd had when we were two.
Would you go back to December turn around and make it all right?
Could I go back to December turn around and change your scared mind?
Cause we go back to December all the time
.
