The sky has lost it's 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
