英语歌曲:The Closet Thing To Crazy

The Closet Thing To Crazy
演唱者：Katie Melua

英文歌词
How can I think I'm standing¹ strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery² 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, acting³ 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 yearn⁴ for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can 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.

我怎么可以以为自己站得很稳
而同时觉得脚下走风
幸福的感觉如此不对
而痛苦怎么这么甜蜜

你怎么可以让我看你入睡
然后以你的方式敲碎我的梦
我怎么会如此深陷？
我为什么会爱上你？

这是我最接近疯狂的一次
感觉22岁行为却像17岁
这是我知道的最靠近疯狂的一次
我自己一人的时候从来不疯狂
而现在我知道这两样有联系
接近疯狂与接近你

你怎么能让我崩溃
然后用甜美的谎言让我重新振作
要伤害一颗心很简单
要闭上眼睛很简单
你怎么可以待我像小孩
而我竟像小孩一样渴望你
人怎么能感觉这么疯狂
人怎么能感觉这么忧伤

这是我最接近疯狂的一次
感觉22岁行为却像17岁
这是我知道的最靠近疯狂的一次
我自己一人的时候从来不疯狂
而现在我知道这两样有联系
接近疯狂与接近你
...接近你 接近你
