The Distance

The sky has lost it's color
The sun has turned to grey
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away
I crawl up in the corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back;
You're coming back

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until I the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without saying your name

But I can brave a hurricane
And still be standing tall when all the dust has settled down
But I can't take the distance

I still believe in feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough;
Not nearly close enough

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until I the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without saying your name

I can brave a hurricane
And still be standing tall when all the dust has settled down

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until I the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without saying your name

I can't take the distance
The distance...
