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
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time you're coming back

(chorus)
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
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

(chorus)

I'd breathe fire and I'd be free
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

(chorus)
