The Closest Thing to Crazy - Katie Melua

I took a break from the bottle But I taste you when I smell tequila I went and got a new apartment I think it's haunted 'cause I still feel ya Put some tears and some miles on this pick-up Cleared the walls, burned the pictures that I ripped up If you called me tonight, I think I wouldn't even pick up Or would I pick up? Am I ever gonna get to get drunk downtown And hear our song and not break down? Am I ever gonna wake up next to someone new And see the sun rise and not see you? If it's never gonna be over, over I guess I'd have to take the closest thing Closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh I ain't sleeping in your t-shirt But it's in my top drawer, one day I'll throw it away Ain't taking that back road Where we first kissed, but I almost did today Do you know that your momma still texts me? Saying how much she hates that you left me Got you out of my head, so I never let it get to me Or does it get to me? Am I ever gonna get to get drunk downtown And hear our song and not break down? Am I ever gonna wake up next to someone new And see the sun rise and not see you? If it's never gonna be over, over I guess I'd have to take the closest thing The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh Tried everything, yeah, even quit drinking Turns out I can't quit feeling Hearts never heal, but I think mine's healing Some days I still can't help thinking Am I ever gonna get to get drunk downtown And hear our song and not break down? Am I ever gonna wake up next to someone new And see the sun rise and not see you? If it's never gonna be over, over I guess I'd have to take the closest thing The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure

After last call when the bars have all closed They turn off the neon sign You told me, you're thinkin' that I should go home But I'm all alone tonight Remember the time you told me you were done Well, I already knew I could see it all over your face Could feel it all over you And you think it's funny? And darling, you still know me so well I'm out of my mind, walking into the dark Awaiting for sun to spill Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Boy, you get me ready Don't you keep me waiting You're the closest thing to heaven Ooh-ooh, I'm never gonna get in Hoping that you'll save me You're the closest thing to heaven All of the sad songs and all of the wrongs Well, all the time you were right Forgive me for makin' you feel like the fool Now, I'm on my knees tonight And I think it's funny And that you think, you know me so well 'Cause you're on my mind Feels like all the time It's tearin' my world apart Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Boy, you get me ready Don't you keep me waiting You're the closest thing to heaven Ooh-ooh, I'm never gonna get in Hoping that you'll save me You're my number one obsession Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Boy, you get me ready Hoping that you'll save me You're the closest thing to heaven

I cut my hair off, I wore a tie Woke up at 7:00, came home at 5:00 for a while I traded whiskey for Miller Lite And I know your mama calls me polite Mr. Right Aw, but that ain't right 'Cause I always gotta know what's behind the other door I'm never gonna be that straight-laced, Sunday-morning man you were looking for Nobody's ever tied me down in a clapboard house With some kids and a bed of roses But you came the closest We never married 'cause I never asked I left the diamond under the glass Someday you'll be glad 'Cause you'll find somebody who shaves every day When your dad comes around, he'll know what to say I just ain't that way, I just ain't that way 'Cause I always gotta know what's behind the other door I'm never gonna be that straight-laced, Sunday-morning man you were looking for Nobody's ever tied me down in clapboard house With some kids and a bed of roses But you came the closest Moving on is the only thing I know how to do But if I could've stood still, then I would have stood still with you But I always gotta know what's behind the other door I'm never gonna be that straight-laced, Sunday-morning man you were looking for Nobody's ever tied me down in clapboard house With some kids and a bed of roses But you came the closest You came the closest

I heard that lately, You've gone through a mysterious change. People say you're secretive, And you've been acting strange. They say there's magic afoot stay away they all warn, But to me you were magical from the day that you were born I have become spellbound, Spellbound. You lifted me up high, Now I don't know how to get down. I don't know how to get down. You're very different, You are so rare. Some kind of witchcraft, Is flying through the air. I'll admit I can't explain why I feel how I do, So you must have cast a spell, That's why my life feels new. I have become spellbound, Spellbound. You lifted me up high, Now I don't know how to get down. I don't know how to get down. I have become spellbound, Spellbound. You lifted me up high, Now I don't know how to get down. No, I don't know how to get down. No, I don't know how to get down. No, I don't know how to get down.

Well my eyes are closed, but my heart's on fire Because the clock is approaching the midnight hour I leave my window open, all the lights are out And from the darkest night comes the lightest shout Moonshine, moonshine moon The cow jumped over the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine moon I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon Well as we walk through the streets, there's no-one nowhere And our nightgown's trailing and our feet are bare I don't know where we're going and I don't care Just as long as you're here and the moon's up there Moonshine, moonshine moon The cow jumped over the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine moon I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon Now all the little boys and girls around the town Dreaming through the darkness till the moon goes down But me and my baby gonna be up all night Dancing under the moonlight Moonshine, moonshine moon I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine moon The cow jumped over the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine, moonshine moon
