The sky has lost its 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 when 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 saying your name.
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.
