The Distance

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 the corner As I watch the minutes pa*s 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 That 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 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 saying your name I can brave 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 saying your name I can't take the distance The distance
