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 a corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back [bad word] back
 [bad word] 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 seeing your name
I can barave 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 [bad word] (2x)
