Chi ga Sawagu
When you get excited that you can't stay still, it can be called chi ga sawagu (血が騒ぐ).
Since chi (血) means "blood" and sawagu (騒ぐ) means "to make a fuss," the literal meaning of chi ga sawagu is "one's blood makes a fuss."
This expression is a metaphor for someone who is very excited.
Of course, you can say just chi ga sawasu to express excitement. In addition, you can also say edokko no chi ga sawagu (江戸っ子の血が騒ぐ - meaning "my bloodline from Edo period makes me excited") or matsuri-zuki no chi ga sawagu (祭り好きの血が騒ぐ - meaning "my festival-loving blood makes me excited") by adding a word to describe your birth or nature.
