I agree. Could be he snuck into her house to see her and the dad had him arrested for trespassing or attempted burglary.

Even if she is under 18, nothing says the boy is not also.

The fact it mentions the biological father as her origin, tells us he is close by and part of the story.

Teenage love was a bigger theme in Rock from the 50s to 70s....Jack & Diane, Teen Angel, etc

Spandau Ballet – True Lyrics 7 years ago
Many times after it's too late a man wishes he had simply said the "next line" which are the words. "I love you and want to marry you". That is the grief of the song. He wants to say it but never could/did. The pill is simply something to calm his nerves to give him the courage to say it. He wants to shout it to the world now, but since he never did, now it's too late.
