The sky has lost its 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
The next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
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
But I can't take the distance
I still believe in feelings
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
The next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
I'm not ashamed
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
I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until
The next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
I'm not ashamed
I can't take a breath
Without saying your name
I can't take the distance
The distance
