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
You're beautiful so silently It lies beneath a shade of blue It struck me so violently When I looked at you
But others pass, the never pause, To feel that magic in your hand To me you're like a wild rose They never understand why
I cried for you When the sky cried for you And when you went I became a hopeless drifter But this life was not for you Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea for a different world, With your treasure, a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget This love of ours or that we met, They may not know how much you meant to me.
I cried for you And the sky cried for you, And when you went I became a hopeless drifter. But this life was not for you, Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see, How fragile the world can be And I know you've gone away But in my heart you'll always stay.
I cried for you And the sky cried for you, And when you went I became a hopeless drifter. But this life was not for you, Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper That beauty need only be a whisper
First of all must go Your scent upon my pillow And then I'll say goodbye To your whispers in my dreams And then our lips will part In my mind and in my heart Cause your kiss Went deeper than my skin
Piece by piece Is how I'll let go of you Kiss by kiss Will leave my mind one at a time One at a time
First of all must fly My dreams of you and I There's no point in holding on to those And then our ties will break For your and my own sake Just remember This is what you chose
Piece by piece Is how I'll let go of you Kiss by kiss Will leave my mind one at a time One at a time
I'll shed like skin Our memories of lazy days And fade away the shadow of your face
Piece by piece Is how I'll let go of you Kiss by kiss Will leave my mind one at a time One at a time One at a time One at a time
Almost 200 square miles (500 square kilometers) of the Yellow Sea off China are covered by a massive bloom of green algae, according to a report from China's Xinhua news service.
The bloom has spread to almost 7,400 square miles (19,050 square kilometers) in total and is expected to grow, Xinhua reported, citing the North China Sea Marine Forecasting Center of State Oceanic Administration. Almost 200 square miles (500 square kilometers) of the Yellow Sea off China are covered by a massive bloom of green algae, according to a report from China's Xinhua news service.
The bloom has spread to almost 7,400 square miles (19,050 square kilometers) in total and is expected to grow, Xinhua reported, citing the North China Sea Marine Forecasting Center of State Oceanic Administration.
The algae bloom threatens marine life as it sucks oxygen from the water although the algae itself is not poisonous, according to the Xinhua report.
Researchers don't know what causes the massive algae blooms, first seen in the Yellow Sea in 2007.
Tons of the green algae had to be removed in 2008 to make way for sailing events at the Summer Olympics.
"We don't know where it originated and why it's suddenly growing so rapidly," Bao Xianwen from the Qingdao-based Ocean University of China, told the China Daily earlier this month. "It must have something to do with the change in the environment, but we are not scientifically sure of the reasons."

When I am with her and see her beautiful smile, it gives me the inspiration and the strength to keep fighting for her. Nowadays, every penny I make is for the usage of my mother’s treatment.

Paranoia is in bloom, The PR, transmissions will resume They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down And hope that, we will never see the truth around (So come on)
Another promise, another seed Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds And endless red tape to keep the truth confined (So come on)
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious So come on
Interchanging mind control Come let the, revolution takes its toll If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die (So come on)
Rise up and take the power back It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack You know that, their time's coming to an end We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend (So come on)
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious So come on
Australian Scott Jones and his girlfriend, Alexandra Thomas of Vancouver, British Columbia, told the Canadian network CBC that they were not making out in the street during the Vancouver hockey riot as it appeared in the widely circulated photo by Getty Images photographer Rich Lam.
The two were trying to find a way out of the turbulent downtown area when they were overrun by a phalanx of riot police, they said.
"They started charging at us, and we tried to run away, but Alex couldn't," Jones explained.
"I just tripped up," Thomas interjected. "I'm not sure, but I was starting to get really frightened because I'd never experienced anything like that before. And it's really scary, you know? ... I was upset, and he was there to make sure that I got out OK."
"So I went back for her," Jones said. "They (the police) started beating us with the shields, trying to get us to move. I don't know why; we weren't being aggressive towards them or anything like that. But they eventually they passed over us, and that's when we were on the ground. She was a bit hysterical afterwards, obviously, and I was just trying to calm her down."

The couple said they were shocked by the sudden media attention they'd received and didn't know how to respond, but they decided they couldn't let wild internet rumors about the image go unanswered.
"Some people didn't think it was my girlfriend," Jones said. "You know, I drugged somebody, or there was that thing where she got stabbed or something like that? The rumors got out of hand so quickly. We just wanted to clear it up."
Thomas acknowledged the thought of millions of people seeing her exposed legs and black panties made her uncomfortable at first, "but I didn't pose that way, so I think people are able to see it's a moment that happened to be on camera and that it's not embarrassing at all."
"It's actually a really beautiful shot," she said. "I wouldn't have been present enough in that moment to see what was going on, so now I can see that moment, and it's pretty incredible."
[Original post 12:09 p.m. June 17] It was the smooch seen round the world, and now we know the passionate couple's names. At least, we think we do.
The couple were photographed lying in a romantic-looking embrace in the middle of a Vancouver, British Columbia, street while a post-hockey game riot swirled around them Wednesday night.
Australian website ninemsn identified the couple as Perth native Scott Jones and his girlfriend, Alexandra Thomas of Vancouver, after Jones' sister and mother came forward.
"It is something he would do; that's our boy," his mother, Megan Jones of Perth, told ninemsn. "He has always lived in his own world. He's special like that. He doesn't always connect with what's going on around him."
CNN has reached out to the couple but has not confirmed that they are the people in the photo.
Some self-described witnesses have said the woman was injured and the man was comforting her, but online speculation is rife that the photo was staged or that the kissing couple are opportunistic performance artists.
Brett Jones of Perth, who told the Toronto Star he is Scott Jones' father, said the picture is legitimate but is not what it seems.
"She had actually been injured," Brett Jones told the Star. A riot police officer had knocked her down with a shield, he said. "He lay down next to her to comfort her. She was crying, and he just kissed her to calm her down."
Rich Lam, the Getty Images photographer who captured the image, wasn't sure what was happening.
"I just saw these two people and I thought they were hurt," he told NPR. "... I didn't really know what I got until the editor pointed it out."
NPR writer Claire O'Neill compared the scene to an art installation by Tino Sehgal at New York's Guggenheim Museum.
Brett Jones said he told his son not to worry about the doubters.
"Tell your story as it happened and there's nothing you can do about them," he told his son, according to the Star. "I think it's amazing."
