Allright guys. I saw an episode of VH1 Storytellers or one of those shows, where AD talks about this song. He said that this song is about the band itself and when they were playing coffee shops and open mic nights in the bay area while all their friends were getting high paying, but boring jobs and CC were washing dishes by day and being Counting Crows by night.
Basically the fictitious character Maria is the Counting Crows. They were not sure if CC would ever take off, and thought that they were stuck in a rut.
The reference about the fog is the give away to San Francisco. The song is very well written and can be applied to many struggles in life, so to everyone their own... but this is what the song means to Adam and co.
