Intro :
How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet f eel the air beneath my feet ?
How can happine ss feel so wrong ?
How can miser y feel so sw eet ?
How can y ou let me watch you sleep,
Then b reak my dreams the way you do ?
How can I have g ot in so deep ?
Why did I fall in love with you ?
This is the cl osest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, actin g seventeen,
This is the n earest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was n ever craz y on my own.
And n ow I kno w that there's a link between th e two,
Being close to craziness an d being close to y ou.
How can y ou make me fa ll apart
Then br eak my fall with loving lies ?
It's so easy t o brea k a heart;
It's so easy to close yo ur ey es.
How can you t reat me like a child
Yet l ike a child I yearn for you ?
How can anyone feel s o wild ?
How can anyone feel so blu e ?
This is the cl osest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, actin g seventeen,
This is the n earest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was n ever craz y on my own.
And n ow I kno w that there's a link between th e two,
Being close to craziness a nd being close to you.
...and being close t o yo u
