The Closest Thing To Crazy

The Closest Thing To Crazy
by KATIE MELUA

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.
But 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 let me fall apart?
Then break my fall with lovin 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 ca 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

And being close to you

 

(This song reminds of some people that I don’t really know. And if I do know them, I probably will say: don’t be silly. Open your eyes – see things the way they are, not the way you think they ought to be. Don’t make yourself the protagonist of a farce.

 

But – who am I to say what? And how much do I know anyway? I can’t even sort myself out. At the end of the day, everybody lives own life…  Let this song be a message to the lost ears...)

i am laughing out loud when i see this cartoon. thanks. it is so funny.

i agree. however, sometimes one can walk into a trap without one's knowing it. but once you are in that trap, it takes courage and time to get out it.

I guess I did not get chic's point here for the first time. anyway, it is a beautiful song. sometimes intelligent people can make silly mistakes and harbor the wishful thought like what is sung in this song. maybe the best way is never to let yourself fall in love. Heminingway said something like if you are afraid of losing, then never let yourself be in that position. Ok, chic, now i think i got your point after I finished this comment. be strong for ourselves. And be happy for ourselves too.

[nymph]

i guessed that i might know or understand what you were talking about. if it's the case, i've got the same feeling.
too hard to realise a void, too easy to hold a truth.

cheer up!
