This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
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 a corner
as i watch the minutes pass
each one brings me closer to
the time when you'll be back
you're comin 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 seeing your name
but i can't breathe 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 seeing your name
but i can't breathe 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 seeing your name
and i can't take the distance
the distance
the sun has turned to grey
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
you're comin 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 seeing your name
but i can't breathe 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 seeing your name
but i can't breathe 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 seeing your name
and i can't take the distance
the distance

Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
