Young Folks Peter Bjorn And John

For the last month or two I have been haunted by the Young Folks by Peter Bjorn And John . I absolutely love the instrumentation. And the whistling is haunting so haunting... but reassuring.
The the lyrics are out of sight. The wording and the chorus and fantastic plus they speak to who I am.

I tend to worry that I am not good enough. I beat my self up or feel that people wouldn't like me if they knew who I really was. But, I am often reminded by God and other people not to beat my self up. "It doesn't matter what you did, who you were hanging with we could stick around and see this night through." Reminds me of God's grace and how he wants you to stick in there with him and repent when you screw up. Maybe I'm putting too much of my own spin on the lyrics, but that is why it sticks in the back of my mind and haunts me.



Guy :
If I told you things I did before
told you how I used to be
would you go along with someone like me
If you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

Girl:
I did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through


It seems like they are a guy and a girl who have some abandonment issues but want to have a good time on a summer night not worrying about any one else but them. Man is this one good song here are a couple of videos from the Peter Bjorn And John website.
