Pearl Jam – Black Lyrics 13 years ago
ts about a guy who is crazy in love with this girl and he is with her and everything is dandy and perfect and they love each other very much and this guy pree much worships the ground she walks on.

"Hey . . . ooh . . .
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun"

The empty sheets of canvas and clay are his future when they met and how they could shape it together and decide what happens.
He is the earth she is the sun.
After a while though they are separated (seemingly by her actions, not his). he becomes depressed and he can't enjoy life without her. his "earth" has no "sun" anymore and is dark and dull. Hes thinking back on everything they did together and he realizes how fragile it all was.

"How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything"

He is pretty much tortured by thinking about her now and needs her to be in his life but he knows she never will be. he knows shes gonna make some guy the happiest guy in the world but it tortures him to think about how that could have been him and how he lost what was once in his hands.

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?"

at least thats what i got from it
