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
