[verse]

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



[verse]

How can you make me fall apart?

Then break my fall with loving light

It's so easy to break a heart

It's so easy to close you 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?



[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



And being close to you-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And being close to you
