The Closest Thing to Crazy lyrics

How can I thing 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?
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?
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.
