The Closest Thing To Crazy

1. How can I think I'm standing strong
Yet feel the air beneath my feet
How can happiness feel so wrong
How can misery feel so sweet?

How can you let me watch you sleep
Then break my dreams the way you do
How can I have got in so deep
Why did I fall in love with you?

[Chorus:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own…
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

2. How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies
It's so easy to break a heart
It's so easy to close your eyes.

How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you
How can anyone feel so wild
How can anyone feel so blue?

[Bridge:]
And being close to you
And being close to you.
