[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
