The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
S.o.s. rescatame estoy comiendo mal y durmiendo peor
Estoy decepcionado del amor demacrados los ojos los
Pantalones flojos el cincho esta por darme dos vueltas
Veinticinco libras de menos son veinticinco días que no
Nos vemos ¿a donde iré a parar? mi cuerpo anda mal y
Mi alma peor es la herencia que me dejo tu amor me cuesta
Dormir se me olvido sonreír mi cuerpo es un manojo
De nervios diecinueve cigarros en fila dicen que es
Mala la nicotina pero es peor la soledad
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti precaución
Corazón peligro esta vida no es vida sin ti
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti el futuro
Junto a ti era mi amigo hoy que no estas es mi gran enemigo
Como te extraño hasta el espejo se ha opacado ya sin
Tu reflejo mi historia se acabo desde que tu no estas
En vano te espero, se que no vendrás desordenada la
Casa, el alquiler amenaza una nota dice que estoy en
Mora siento algo en las mejillas que me hace, no se
Cosquillas otra vez volví a llorar
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti precaución
Corazón, peligro esta vida no es vida sin ti
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti el futuro
Junto a ti era mi amigo hoy que no estas es mi gran enemigo
Estoy decepcionado del amor demacrados los ojos los
Pantalones flojos el cincho esta por darme dos vueltas
Veinticinco libras de menos son veinticinco días que no
Nos vemos ¿a donde iré a parar? mi cuerpo anda mal y
Mi alma peor es la herencia que me dejo tu amor me cuesta
Dormir se me olvido sonreír mi cuerpo es un manojo
De nervios diecinueve cigarros en fila dicen que es
Mala la nicotina pero es peor la soledad
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti precaución
Corazón peligro esta vida no es vida sin ti
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti el futuro
Junto a ti era mi amigo hoy que no estas es mi gran enemigo
Como te extraño hasta el espejo se ha opacado ya sin
Tu reflejo mi historia se acabo desde que tu no estas
En vano te espero, se que no vendrás desordenada la
Casa, el alquiler amenaza una nota dice que estoy en
Mora siento algo en las mejillas que me hace, no se
Cosquillas otra vez volví a llorar
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti precaución
Corazón, peligro esta vida no es vida sin ti
S.o.s. rescátame es imposible vivir sin ti el futuro
Junto a ti era mi amigo hoy que no estas es mi gran enemigo

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
