Our past had moments of both love and chaos Maybe I've gone too far down the wrong path to come back I feel like I have no direction or purpose without you I need your help, but I don't want to lose you again by waiting too long to reach out I don't understand where I made a mistake I am lost without you and need your guidance I wonder if this is the inevitable cost of losing you Those moments were the happiest, brightest times of my lifeīut with each passing day without you, I become more and more depressed I have vivid memories of every moment we shared together The chorus, "Please help me, but don't wait too long," suggests that he's aware that time is running out and that he needs to act fast if he wants to set himself on the right path.

As the song progresses, it's clear that he's struggling to come to terms with the consequences of his actions. Geils Band's song Teresa appears to be a reflective piece about a man who is lamenting the choices he's made in his life.
