The sky has lost it's 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
Each one brings me closer to
The time you're comin' 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'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
Thats 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 I 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

It's harder to live longer
As long as you're away
Then I find solace
There's only one
...
