No Ceiling
Eddie Vedder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Comes the morning when I can feel
That there's nothing left to be concealed
Moving on, a scene surreal
Know my heart will never, will never be far from here
Sure as I'm breathing, sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
As I walk the hemisphere
I got my wish to up and disappear
I've been wounded, I've been healed
Now for landing I've been, landing I've been cleared
Sure as I'm breathing, sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
This love has got no ceiling

Comes the morning
When a new day dawns
When I can feel
