The Closest Thing To Crazy

Katie Melua - 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?

[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 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 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

Steps of Romance

In Asia:

Falling in Love --> Relationship --> Sex

In North America:

Sex --> Relationship --> Falling in Love

I'm not sure which one is better...

With the money I make from working at Vanier, it practically offsets my eating expenses.. I've only spent a net total of $20+ on food this whole year! LOL.

I like. Must. Work. More!

Great horoscope advice from the paper today:

"Why would you want your life to look like others? Avoid jealousy today."

Hehe.

Country

Oh my gosh. I am falling in love with a new genre of music.. Country music!! To be specific, NEW country music..

Randomly discovered JRFM and I was surprised at how most of the songs it plays suits my taste.. Slow-ish, romantic, most of all, it makes me feel comfortable..

Big names like Keith Urban, Tim McGraw.. Making their way into my books.. =)) But I never knew Taylor Swift was also considered country music..

There's just something so soothing about it.. Nothing else to say..
