Lyric video:

This goes out to my ex. You know who you are.

Our relationship started on January 15th (1/15). After the break-up, I was coming up with designs for the album and decided to add some filler track titles, one of those fillers being "1:15 AM". This was because it was actually 1:15 AM at the time and because my ex was on my mind. Matt apparently took notice of this track name and came up with the chorus lyrics almost immediately.
The song is about being with someone that you realize you don't really know. It's like that one song that you hear on the radio over and over again, but you don't know the words, so you hum along instead.

Fun fact: we did not realize this until way after, but this song can be seen as the other partner's perspective in the Lady Antebellum song "Need You Now", Even the time is the same ("Quarter after 1" = "1:15 AM")

lyrics

My life's a prison without a crime
Saying sorry doesn't mean I'm saying goodbye
But I'll swallow my lies 'cause I'm hoping I'll forget her
Saying sorry doesn't mean I'll miss her

Lay awake at 1:15 a.m.
Knowing you're always there
Just waiting for me to call
Passing time avoiding
What's always there
I know I can do better
But I'll stick with you forever

She's the melody stuck in my head
To the song I've never known, but always heard
She's the melody stuck in my head
Sing along 'cause I don't know the words

Lay awake at 1:15 a.m.
Knowing you're always there
Just waiting for me to call
Passing time avoiding
What's always there
I know I can do better
But I'll stick with you forever

I'll stick with you forever

Little does she know
I live as I dream
Alone

Lay awake at 1:15 a.m.
Knowing you're always there
Just waiting for me to call
Passing time avoiding
What's always there
I know I can do better
But I'll stick with you forever

I'll stick with you forever
