Apparently this song is about NYC - Post 9/11. It is a sequel to his song "City Love" - Pre 9/11. It gives a gloomy view of NYC after the incident and his relation with Lydia (from "City Love") ending .
John Mayer, please make more songs like this.
Amazing.

LYRICS:
In these days with the world gettin colder
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I'd planned
Tonight we're gonna order in
Drinkin wine and watchin CNN
It's dark, I know
But then again, it's the brightest thing I've got
When I'm covered in rain, rain
When I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
From fireworks to fireplaces
Summer stole what fall replaces
And now we're people watching
All the people, people watching us right back
Standing by the missing signs
At the CVS, by the checkout line
She puts her quiet hands in mine,
Cause she's the brightest thing I've got
When I'm covered in rain, rain
When I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
Oh, I'm covered in rain
Oh, I'm covered in rain
Oh, I'm covered in rain
And come December, Lydia left.
She mentioned something 'bout it being for the best,
And I can't say I disagree, and its killing me.
And now I'm standing facing west
Tracing my fingers round a silhouette
I haven't gotten used to yet,
But it's the brightest thing I've got
When I'm covered in rain
