[Taylor Swift]Back To December

关于《Speak Now》这张专辑，Taylor自己的说明。

“在适当的时候说正确的话，这点非常关键。很多时候，我们会犹豫，因为害怕在错误的时刻说出不正确的话。但是最近，我却更害怕让这样的时机白白溜走而不说任何话。”Taylor说这张专辑体现了她非常自我的音乐品味，“这些歌曲中的很多歌词，都是我在那些正确的时刻没有来得及说出来的话。这些歌曲就像是公开的信件：当我写每一首歌曲的时候，脑海中都有一个特定的人，告诉他们我曾经想亲口对他们说的话。”

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
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 nothin but missin you wshin I’d 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 sleepin
Stayin up playing 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 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 lovin 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 nothin but missin you wishin 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 thinkin
Probably mindless dreamin
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 nothin but missin you

Wishin I’d 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 turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
all the time
