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,
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?
CHORUS
...and being close to you
...and being close to you.

Crazy about this song Jasmine | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09
The words are not capable of expressing what i feel listing to this song. It's like hearing angel singing within my reason. I think katie should be more known then she is now. She really can get people's feelings move
kisses and best wishes to the most marvelous singer...
Sweet jesus, maria, josef and a camel! | Reviewer: Austen | 8/8/08
Oh jeez, Katie you're my hero. You're voice is so bluesy, and it is so vivid and hallucinating to listen to. All these pictures you get, it is so REAL, it's just how I feel, and it is so strange and wild for one person to get to everyone else in the world. I think you deserve a medal!!! 1000 points for you!!
Well. Melua you are a kind of crazy. I'm so inspired of your wonderful lyrics and it is crazy to write something amazing like you do! I'm so grateful to own the c.d. with you and with this song. keep on doing what you are doing, cause this is some good shit! :D
I love what you do, and I hope I can become one like you when I get older. I will keep on practice till I one day become like you!
I always will support you, if you just keep on going.
Many kisses from me.

I luff this song..!!
my friend Kelly* played this song in her car when we were driving and i didnt really seem bothered about it..!!
But about 4 of 5 years after that, Kelly* and I kinda stopped being friends..!!
And whenever I hear that song, it reminds me of all the good times..!!
So thins song - to me - represents something special..!!
BTW, we've been friends since i was = 2yrs until 11yrs So that make ALOT of memories..!!
!!..THANK YOU KATIE MELUA..!!
Beautiful song and voice | Reviewer: Miles | 11/7/07
I first heard this song playing in a movie theater, you know, filling up the time while people get seated before the show begins. I was almost mesmerized by the haunting beauty of the song and the voice. Who was Katie Melua? I had never even heard the name before. I went out and bought her disc, "Call Off the Search" just for the song "Closest Thing To Crazy". It turns out that I love just about every song on the disc.
Why isn't Katie better known? She is an absolute joy to listen to, and this song has an impact I can't quite describe. Like Madonna's "This Used To Be My Playground", it's sad yet compelling at the same time. I can't wait to hear Katie perform in person if she ever gives a concert within 1000 miles of here! She is magnificent.
