The Distance

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

To watch the minutes pass

(One second, one minute, one hour)

Each one brings me closer to

The time you're coming back

I can't take the distance

I can't take the miles

I can't take the time 'til I next see you smile

I can't take the distance

I'm not ashamed

That with every breath I take, I'm calling your name

But I can't take the distance

I still believe my feelings

But sometimes I feel too much

I make believe you're close to me

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 'til I next see you smile

I can't take the distance

I'm not ashamed

That with every breath I take, I'm calling your name

But I can't take 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 'til I next see you smile

I can't take the distance

I'm not ashamed

That with every breath I take, I'm calling your name

I can't take the distance

(It's hard to remember)

(As long as you're away)

(But then I find solace)

(There's only one, only one)

(It's hard to remember)

(As long as you're away)

(But then I find solace) I can't take the distance anymore

(There's only one, only one)

(It's hard to remember)

(As long as you're away)

(But then I find solace)

(There's only one, only one)

(It's hard to remember) The distance

(As long as you're away)

(But then I find solace)

(There's only one, only one)

(It's hard to remember)
