The Closest Thing To Crazy

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.
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?

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

Recently Maestro has been listening to a one Katie Melua, who is responsible for the song you see above. She is, for lack of any better comparison, like a British Norah Jones. You should check her out. But anyway, there’s not much else I feel like discussing right now…I’m sure I will feel like doing so sooner or later. But until then, I just put up these lyrics because I feel they, aside from the “feeling 22” part, apply to Our Hero and his current circumstances with that dame Gretchen. Certainly being close to her has brought him significantly closer to craziness. I mean, just look at this diary! It’s a plethora of madness and half eaten tofu! And speaking of insanity, Valentine’s Day is only days away…What wacky adventures could await Our Hero there? Find out next entry…when said adventures will have already commenced, assuming they commence at all. So until I actually do save the world from being close to craziness…
