Good question, I have no idea.
One lyric I've always struggled with was from 4 AM... I know the lyric is officially "known that I loved you all along", but I can't help thinking that Raine secretly sang "know, Dad, I loved you all along" during the final chorus. It fits very well with the story behind the song, and is very personal. And it does sound like he sings that lyric in the final stride.
If true, it profoundly changes the storyline from "If I don't make it [a] known [fact] that I loved you all along", to "If I don't make it [to the hospital], know Dad, I loved you all along". Remember, the "phone call made me realize I'm wrong" part is referring to when he received a phone call that his dad was in the hospital.
