Lyrics - Crazy

Smoked a final cigarette and left you where you lay
Wiped the tears from off you cheek before I drove away
Back towards reality, a world apart from you and me
Gone but not forgetting what we had
  Crazy, crazy over you
Crazy, crazy but it's true
You picked me up, when I was down
You turned my life, my world around
Crazy, crazy, crazy over you
Home again my secret safe, I guiltily deceive
Caught within a web of lies so readily conceived
The mirror shows a hypocrite, preaching love, (but full of shit)
Maybe I will always be the same
  Crazy, crazy over you
Crazy, crazy but it's true
I've wanted you so very long
To you I dedicate this song
Because I'm crazy, crazy, crazy over you
Maybe I should leave your life, I don't know if I could
Never had a thing before, that ever felt this good
In the dark a new man cries, born again with older eyes
Seeing clearly what I want to do
  Crazy, crazy over you
Crazy, crazy but it's true
You picked me up, when I was down
You turned my life, my world around
And now I'm crazy, crazy, crazy over you
I've wanted you so very long
To you I dedicate this song
Because I'm crazy, crazy, crazy over you
From daybreak to sunset
It always feels like we've just met
Because I'm crazy, crazy, crazy over you

The character in the song is playing the unfaithful lover. The darker side of life rearing up once again. The character finds solace in the another, who he feels brings him happiness as he once again feels he's in love. However, after every encounter he returns dutifully to his wife, who remains oblivious to all his flilanderings.
