Alright, I've been to 2 of Matt's amazing concerts and this song is meant exactly the way he puts it down. Its to his girlfriend. He is waiting for a call....that will inevitably end his relationship. He'd be lying if he told her he was ok. They got together and he thought everything was perfectly fine, but then she said i need space. (In another one of his songs "Capitol City" his girlfriend moves, so maybe she moved because she needed space.) He's saying truth be told, its so hard to wait for her to get her space and come back and also its hard waiting for her call. With one eye on the clock and one on the phone shows that he's waiting for her call. He's feeling very alone because in a short while he will be. He's gonna keep loving her but not so much. he already worries and over thinks but now he's going WAY over the top on worrying. He knows she said dont worry but he's missing her and he's scared to be without her. Baby take all the time you need in calling/getting space, but he will be there waiting for her, because he loves her.
Matt says "The album also meant a lot to me personally–it was written and recorded during my first dating relationship since college, and much of the album followed the progress of the relationship. “5:19” was written on July 7, 2005, at 5:19 p.m., while I waited for the phone call that would inevitably be the end of that relationship.
