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

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

and being close to you

and being close to you
