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 the corner
as I watch the minutes pass
each one brings me closer to
The time 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 seeing your name

But I can't breath a hurricane
and still be standing tall
when all the dust has settled down
but 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 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 cant take a breath without seeing your name
But I can't breath a hurricane
and still be standing tall
when all the dust has settled down
but i cant take the distance
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 cant take a breath without seeing your name

I cant take the distance, the distance

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

I will go the distance
I will go the miles
That's how much you mean to me

Cause I can't take the distance
I can't take these 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 with every breath I take I'm calling your name

It's harder to remember
The longer you're away
When I find silence
I don't want the distance
It's harder to remember
The longer you're away
When I find silence
I can't take the distance
It's harder to remember
The longer you're away
When I find silence
