The Distance

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 you're coming 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 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
 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 with every breath I take I'm calling your name
 I brave fire and I 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
 I can't take the distance
 It's hard to remember
 As long as you're away
 When I find solace
 There's only one way
