Yeah its about Katrina specifically the lower ninth. But dave explains in live at beacon theater that his daughter asked him to write a song about her since he usually writes songs about his daughter grace (who he also makes reference to in the song) so he put her in a song in the setting of the days right after Katrina.
This is my interpretation of the story: Its days after Katrina and this guy and his daughter are sitting on top of there roof waiting for help and its not coming and the guy realizes it but his daughter has a childish view on things and she just keeps asking her dad to write her a song.
Also this song is amazing
Very insightful seeing it from perspectives of both the father and daughter. But why does he mention grace? Is it meant to be the abstract quality of grace that's now lost? Or is it a direct mention of his other little girl.

When Dave mentions Grace in his song, hes not always talking about his daughter. While it is unknown if Grace was a former gf, or if she is just a general concept for innocence lost and the horrors of Dave's past. I don't think Stella understood that however, which led to a unfounded jealousy that sparked the song.
