The Distance

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
(One second, one minute, one hour)
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 '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
But I can't take the distance

[Verse 3]
I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
It ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough

[Chorus]
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
But I can't take the distance

[Post-Chorus]
I'd brave fire and I'd brave rain
To be by your side, I'd do anything
I can't take the distance

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I will go the distance
I will go the miles
That's how much you mean to me

[Chorus]
'Cause 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
That with every breath I take, I'm calling your name
I can't take the distance

[Outro]
(It's hard to remember)
(As long as you're away)
(But then I find solace)
(There's only one, only one)
(It's hard to remember)
(As long as you're away)
(But then I find solace) I can't take the distance anymore
(There's only one, only one)
(It's hard to remember)
(As long as you're away)
(But then I find solace)
(There's only one, only one)
(It's hard to remember) The distance
(As long as you're away)
(But then I find solace)
(There's only one, only one)
(It's hard to remember)
