When I first met you at the roller derby
You were with your old boyfriend
You were on a date
Throwing elbows, you were playing dirty
And you nearly knocked me
Out of my skates
The clock is always ticking down
(What a rush falling in love in the city)
Ticking down, it's ticking down
(What a rush falling in love)
Down in the belly of the ocean blue
Way down at the bottom of the hotel pool
You're the queen of kicking off your shoes
Diving in head first got nothing to lose
The clock is always ticking down
(What a rush falling in love in the city)
Ticking down, it's ticking down
(What a rush falling in love)
You know where I am
You've been there before
We're just thawing out under the neon sun
I'm new to love
And you are the same
And I can't imagine anything
Standing in our way
'Cause we were dancing, touching
Bumping into each other
And it stayed that way
'Til the end of the summer
I said
I don't wanna get to know you later
I wanna get to know you now
