since i met you
this small town hasn't got room
for my big feelings

violently happy! 'cause i love you
violently happy! but you're not here
violently happy! come calm me down
before i get into trouble

i tip-toe down to the shore
stand by the ocean
make it roar at me : and i roar back

violently happy! 'cause i love you
violently happy! but you're not here
violently happy! overemotional
violently happy! i'll get into trouble
real soon - if you don't get here - BABY

violently happy! 'cause i love you
violently happy! i'm aiming too high
violently happy! it will get me into trouble
violently happy! i'm driving my car
too fast - with ecstatic music on

violently happy! i'm getting too drunk
violently happy! i'm daring people
to jump off roofs with me
only you can calm me down
i'm aiming too high
soothe me
