The Distance

The Distance
The sky has lost its color
the sun has turned to grey
at least thats 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 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 breathe 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 seeing your name
But i can't breathe 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 seeing your name
and i can't take the distance
the distance
