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
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 ?
(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
And being close to you
