[Intro]
[Applause]
Thank you so much, thank you!
[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
I'm violently happy
Come calm me down
Before I get into trouble
[Verse 2]
I tip-toe down to the shore

[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
Baby
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 3]
Violently happy
'Cause I love you
Violently happy
But you're not here
Violently happy
Overemotional
Violently happy

Too fast
With ecstatic music on
[Chorus 4]
Violently happy
'Cause I love you
Violently happy
I'm aiming too high
Violently happy
I'm getting too drunk
Violently happy
Only you
Can calm me down
I'm aiming too high
Soothe me
[Outro]
[Applause]
Thank you very much!
