How can I think I'm standing strong, Yet feel the air my feet? How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet? How can let me watch you sleep, Then break my dreams the way you do? How I have got in so deep? Why did I fall in love with you?
CHORUS: This is the closest thing to crazy I ever been twenty-two, acting seventeen, This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known, I was never on my own… And now I know that there's a link between the two, Being close to craziness and being close to you.
can you make me fall apart Then break my fall with loving lies? It's so easy to break a heart; It's easy to close your eyes. How can you treat me a child Yet like a child I yearn for you? How can anyone feel wild? How can anyone feel so blue?
CHORUS
...and being close to you ...and being close to you.
