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 a corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time you comin' back

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time 'til I next see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I'll take
I'm callin' your name
I can 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 with every breath I'll take
I callin you're name
I can take the distance

I brave fire
And I brave rain
To be by your side
I do anything
I can't take the distance

I will go the distance
I will go the miles
That's how much you mean
It's hard to remember as long as you're away
When I find solace there's only one way

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
