Lyrics

The lyrics of "City Love" chronicle a singer's relationship with a woman named Lydia, who he met in New York City ("this apple"). It makes allusions to many of the things associated with the city: Battery Park, sounds of sirens, and taxi cabs.

According to the Any Given Thursday DVD extras, Mayer's song "Covered in Rain" is the sequel to this song. This title may be assumed to be derived from a line in the third verse of "City Love" ("... the day she called up and came to me, covered in rain.").
