I don't know if you guys remember this, or if you even went through this in your teenage years. But when I would start dating people, they would tell me the regretful things they've done in the past, and it always killed me. I guess this is like the guy telling the girl about all the stuff he's done in the past, things mostly pertaining to the loss of his innocence (drugs, sex, ect.). I think he's hoping that she can see past all that, that maybe she's at that point of her life where she's just used to knowing that the people she becomes interested in will always have rough pasts.
I think the loss of innocence affects some people more than it does other people. Me, Holden Caughfield, and the writer of this song, it affects us a lot.
And in the second stanza, I think the girl is even admitting to the same type of things. They just relate together really well.
Yeah, I think beddy is right.
