The Distance

by: Evan Lowenstein

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 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 are close to me
But it aint close enough
Not nearly close enough
