the sky has lost its color
the sun has turned to grey
at least thats how it feels to me
whenever you're away

i crawl up in the corner
to watch the minutes pass
each one brings me closer to
the time when you'll be back
you're coming back

and i cant take the distance
i cant take the miles
i cant take the time until the next time i see you smile
i cant take the distance
im not ashamed
that i cant take a breath without saying your name
and i cant take the distance

i still believe in feelings
but sometimes i feel too much
i make believe you're close to me
but it aint close enough
not nearly close enough

and i cant take the distance
i cant take the miles
i cant take the time until the next time i see you smile
i cant take the distance
im not ashamed
that i cant take a breath without saying your name
i cant take the distance
the distance

i can brave a hurricane
and still be standing tall
when all the dust has settled down
but i cant take the distance
the distance

and i cant take the distance
i cant take the miles
i cant take the time until the next time i see you smile
i cant take the distance
im not ashamed
that i cant take a breath without saying your name
and i cant take the distance
the distance
the distance
