[Verse 1]
Since I met you
This small town hasn't got room
For my big feelings
[Chorus 1]
Violently happy
'Cause I love you
Violently happy
But you're not here
Violently happy
Come calm me down
Before I get into trouble
[Verse 2]

Stand by the ocean
Make it roar at me
And I roar back
[Chorus 2]
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

'Cause I love you

Violently happy
I'm driving my car
Too fast
With ecstatic music on
[Chorus 4]
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
