Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Off Topic Anyone know this song?

There's a song being used for an ad here in the UK right now:

The lyrics (roughly from memory and such I can hear them) are:

I would have more if it wasn't for some guy mumbling on about how low priced his sofas are over the rest of the lyrics.

Anyone recognise the song/(female)artist? I'd love to track it down as the first two lines are now stuck in my head and I keep humming them endlessly.

KATIE MELUA LYRICS

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 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?

[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

Aha! I knew someone here would have the goods. Thanks, Ines!

And, yes, it is a beautiful song and the singer has a terrific voice. Will have to check out more by her too.
