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 pa**
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
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 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
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
Cuz 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
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)
