Taylor的单曲《Back to December》则被认为是写给当红男星泰勒-洛特纳(Taylor Lautner)的道歉曲。斯威夫特曾在2009年底与泰勒-特洛一起拍摄电影《Valentine's Day》，随后二人的恋情曝光，但在12月份时二人友好分手。Taylor在说到这首歌时表示：“这首歌献给一位男士，他理应得到更多。他对于我可以说无可挑剔，我们二人曾经有过一段完美的关系，可当时我却没有非常用心对待他。”
歌词:
I'm so glad you made time to see me
很高兴你抽出时间来看我
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
过的好吗?告诉我,你的家人呢?
I haven't seen them in a while
我已经很久没有看见他们了(隐语是：我也好久没见你了)
You've been good, busier than ever
(听你说)你过得挺好，比过去更忙了(这句是间接引用小狼的回 答："I've been good,busier than ever.")
We small talk: work and the weather
(结果)我们谈的却只有工作和天气(小美女失望ing)
Your guard is up and I know why
你有顾忌，我知道原因
Because the last time you saw me
因为上次见我的情景
Still burning in the back of your mind
依然让你的心隐隐作痛
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
你给我玫瑰，我却让她们就这样消逝
So this is me swallowing my pride
这次我收起我的骄傲
standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
站在你的面前，为那天晚上(的事)向你道歉
And I go back to December all the time
我一直都好想回到十二月
It turns out freedom means nothin' but missin' you
(时间)证明了自由却只能让我更加想念你
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
真希望那时的我能明白当我们在一起时我所拥有的
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
想回到十二月，转过身，重来一次
I go back to December all the time
一直都好想回到十二月
These days I haven't been sleepin'
这些天我一直辗转难眠
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'
(脑中)一直回放着我的离去
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
你的生日过了，我却连电话都没打给你
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
我回忆着夏天，所有的美好时光
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side
坐在副驾驶上看着你的笑容
And I realized I loved you in the fall
我意识到秋天来临时我依然爱着你
Then the cold came, the dark days
而当黑暗来临，寒冷袭来
when fear crept into my mind
恐惧渐渐潜入我的心里时
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
你给了我你所有的爱，我给的却只有那一句"再见"

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile

So good to me, so right
那么美好，那么适合
And how you held me in your arms that September night
还有九月的那天晚上你是如何拥我入怀(唉，是小狼受伤了，却在安慰小美女)
The first time you ever saw me cry
(那是)你第一次看到我哭泣
Maybe this is wishful thinking
也许这是痴心妄想
Probably mindless dreaming
或者只是愚蠢的梦想(mindless dreaming与wishful thinking意义相近)
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right
如果我们能再次相爱，我发誓我会好好的爱你
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
我想回到过去，但是已经晚了
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
