Dock Start
A Tale of Love's Beginnings: From Dockside Dreams to Endless Memories
Lyrics
It didn't start in the city, didn't start downtown
Contrary to starting in the city or downtown, the origin is elsewhere.
In a bar on a Friday night
The setting is not in a bar on a Friday night.
Didn't start with me trying to pick you up with a drink
The beginning doesn't involve attempts to impress with drinks or cliché pick-up lines.
Or a cliché pick up line
No reliance on traditional pick-up lines for the start.
It didn't start on the first day of high school
It didn't commence on the first day of high school.
It didn't start at the senior prom

It started like an old Merc two stroke, first pull
It started effortlessly, akin to starting an old Merc two-stroke engine with ease.
Down on the edge of the dock
Commencement occurred on the edge of the dock.
It started with a dock start
The initiation involved a "dock start" with two skis and two hearts.
Two skis, two hearts
The beginning involves the narrator and the other person, symbolized by "me and you."
Me and you, that's where it all started

The first pull, first kiss, it was a first date that I'd never forget

A tow rope pulling you into me

And both our names carved in a heart on the dock with that old boat key

Like Nitty Gritty we tried a little Fishin' in the Dark on a Friday night
Reference to trying activities similar to "Fishin' in the Dark" on a Friday night.
When we got to kissing we forgot the fishing and tangled up our lines
Intimacy overshadowed other activities, leading to entangled fishing lines.
I'll never forget that summer in the boondocks

No Netflix, no small talk
