Young Folks
Kanye West & Peter Bjorn and John Lyrics

If I told you things I did before
If I confided in you about my past and the things I've done

Told you how I used to be
Shared with you my former self and my previous ways

Would you go along with someone like me?
Would you want to continue to associate with me and accept me for who I am?

If you knew my story word for word
If you knew every detail of my history and past experiences

Had all of my history
Knew every aspect of my life's story

Would you go along with someone like me?
Would you still choose to remain by my side and be with me?

I did before and had my share
I have also experienced my fair share of setbacks and mistakes

It didn't lead nowhere
They did not result in meaningful or positive outcomes

I would go along with someone like you
I would accept and continue with a person like you, faults and all

It doesn't matter what you did
Your past actions and experiences do not influence my decision to be with you

Who you were hanging with
Your former associations and past relationships don't matter to me

We could stick around and see this night through
We could spend more time together and enjoy the present moment

And we don't care about the young folk
We are indifferent to the opinions and style of the youth

Talkin' 'bout the young style
Discussing their fashion and behavior

And we don't care about the old folks
We are not bothered by the views and practices of the elderly

Talkin' 'bout the old style too
Discussing the way of life of the past generations

And we don't care about their own faults
We are not interested in the flaws and missteps of others

Talkin' 'bout our own style
Discussing our personal character and way of living

All we care 'bout is talking
Our primary concern is having a conversation and interacting with each other

Talking only me and you
Focusing on our communication and connection with each other, disregarding other opinions and views

Usually when things has gone this far
Normally, when a situation reaches this point

People tend to disappear
Individuals often choose to leave or disappear from the circumstance

No one will surprise me unless you do
Nothing will shock or amaze me, except for your actions and choices

I can tell there's something goin' on
I can sense that something is happening or shifting

Hours seems to disappear
Time seems to go by quickly and without attention

Everyone is leaving; I'm still with you
Others are departing, but I am choosing to remain with you

It doesn't matter what we do
Our activities and actions do not hold significance, as long as we are together

Where we are going to
Our destination and future plans are not important, as long as we are enjoying each other's company

Talking only me and you
Focusing on our communication and connection with each other, disregarding other opinions and views
