I heard a story that Jim and his wife got into a big fight and he went off that night and wrote this song (which explains the first line).

Well, I know it's kind of late I hope I didn't wake you

There is a saying that don't go to bed mad, and maybe Jim was thinking of that when he wrote this song - because he's not only saying "I love you", but also "I'm sorry".

...there's something that I just got to say I know you'd understand.

Too bad Jim would end up being killed by zombies later that same year. He was a great singer. Real shame.
