Gregory Alan Isakov – Big Black Car Lyrics 11 years ago
i think its about him being in love with a girl who he sees as more than a person. he describes himself as just being a kid, while she is music. she's a dancer, he's a rag. she is glossy and perfect like a magazine and he's plane. she's a miracle and he's just holding space.

he's sort of the trail to her comet, just following around never initiating anything. sitting in the back seat of the car, never driving.

it reminds me a lot of the book "looking for alaska" where pudge sees alaska as this beautiful, amazing person who he can never compare to.

"but i lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and i was gawky and she was gorgeous and i was hopelessly boring and was endlessly fascinating. so i walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain i was a drizzle and she was a hurricane."
