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 a corner
As i watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back
You're comin 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
That i can't take a breath without seeing your name
But i can't breathe 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 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 seeing your name
But i can't breathe 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
And i'm not ashamed
That i can't take a breath without seeing your name
And i can't take the distance
The distance
