Lyrics

[Intro]
Since I met you
This small town hasn't got room
For my big feelings
[Chorus]
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 1]
I tip-toe down to the shore
Stand by the ocean
Make it roar at me
And I roar back
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
Written by: Björk Guðmundsdóttir, Nellee Hooper
