The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to gray
At least that’s how it feels to me
Whenever you`re away
I crawl up in a corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you`ll be back
You`re comin` back
I can`t take the distance
I can`t take the miles
I can`t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I`m not ashamed
That I can`t take a breath without sayin` your name
But 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 I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I`m not ashamed
That I can`t take a breath without sayin` your name
But I can brave a hurricane and
Still be standing tall
When all the dust has settled down
Ooo-oh...
I can`t take the distance
I can`t take the miles
I can`t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I`m not ashamed
That I can`t take a breath without sayin` your name
But I can brave a hurricane and
Still be standing tall
When all the dust has settled down
And I can`t take the distance
