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 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
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe 
you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close 
enough

[Repeat *]
