The Distance

Evan and Jaron

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


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





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





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't take the distance


The distance
