| 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. |
