Time to roll
The answer floats on down
The farthest shore
Of the mind
Roll the dice
That sail the ship
And all the doors will open
On down the line
Turned to wrong
A lesson learned
And then forgotten over
In our time
In that moment
I awoke among the
Smoke and mirrors
I was blind
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows for sure
It begins and on and on
A baby's born
The elder's down
All in their time
Start a door, the setting sun
The day has come
My mind is open
My oh my
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows for sure
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Time to go
The answer floats on by
The farthest shore
Of the mind
Roll the dice that sail the ship
And all the world will open
All this time
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows

My Morning Jacket - The Waterfall Lyrics
Copyright: Lyrics © Original Writer and Publisher
Like A River
Breeze has blown
Leaves have fallen
Days grow short
River flowing
Bird has flown
Misty morning
Half well-worn
River flowing
Finally home
Sun is shining
Where the sweet
River winding
[Chorus x4:]
Like a river flowing, like a river winding it's way
Time has come
World in motion
Heart of man
Swept into the ocean
[Chorus:]
Like a river flowing, like a river washes away [x2]
Like a river flowing, like a river winding it's way
Like a river
Leaves have fallen
Days grow short
River flowing
Bird has flown
Misty morning
Half well-worn
River flowing
Finally home
Sun is shining
Where the sweet
River winding
[Chorus x4:]
Like a river flowing, like a river winding it's way
Time has come
World in motion
Heart of man
Swept into the ocean
[Chorus:]
Like a river flowing, like a river washes away [x2]
Like a river flowing, like a river winding it's way
Like a river

The idea was always there, in it's infancy
The seed took root, over many years
An idea grows before it walks
And as it walks, it learns to run
And as it runs, it feels it's form
The waterfall, can it be stopped?

Thin Line
You never say enough
Ooh, now you've said too much
C'mon open up
Ooh, oh no stay shut
Well it's a thin line between lovin'
And wasting my time
Thin line
Give in shiners
Crazy diamonds
And head out towards the sea
Nobody loves you
Except for me
Close to overflow
Ooh now the well has run low
Longing to make the cut
You can look but oh don't touch
'Cause it's a thin line between lovin'
And wasting my time
Thin line between lovin' and wasting my time
Give in shiners
Crazy diamonds
And head out towards the sea
Nobody loves you
Except for me
Ooh, now you've said too much
C'mon open up
Ooh, oh no stay shut
Well it's a thin line between lovin'
And wasting my time
Thin line
Give in shiners
Crazy diamonds
And head out towards the sea
Nobody loves you
Except for me
Close to overflow
Ooh now the well has run low
Longing to make the cut
You can look but oh don't touch
'Cause it's a thin line between lovin'
And wasting my time
Thin line between lovin' and wasting my time
Give in shiners
Crazy diamonds
And head out towards the sea
Nobody loves you
Except for me

Big Decisions
Sit'n round wondering just what the hell to do with your life
Only get one chance but you seem to always think twice
And I'm getting so tired of trying to always be nice
You're sweet and sincere, but so ruled by fear
What do you want me to do?
Make all the big decisions for you?
Cause I can't
Well I can't
I don't quite feel like faking it again tonight
Don't really feel like saying everything is alright
You're sweet and sincere, but so ruled by fear
What do you want me to do?
Make all the big decisions for you?
What do you want me to do?
Make all the big decisions for you?
Well I can't
Well I can't
Go on do it
If you really, really mean it
Oh don't just hold back then regret it
You're sweet and sincere, but so ruled by fear
What do you want me to do?
Make all the big decisions for you?
What do you want me to do?
Make all the big decisions for you?
Well I can't
Well I can't
Only get one chance but you seem to always think twice
And I'm getting so tired of trying to always be nice
You're sweet and sincere, but so ruled by fear

Oh don't just hold back then regret it
You're sweet and sincere, but so ruled by fear
What do you want me to do?

What do you want me to do?

Only Memories Remain
Only memories remain
Only memories remain
For a time, there by the sea
There was only you and me
In a land that time forgot
You uttered sweet forget-me-nots
And you know yeah I never will
But sometimes life has other ideas
And though we both know how much it meant
Now only memories remain
Only memories remain
Only memories remain
Only memories remain, yeah yeah
Only memories remain
The names and places have all been changed
But the identity remains the same
As time and space do what they will
The spirit soul though can never be killed
Our earthly bodies will surely fall
But the love we share outlives us all
What's done is done at the end of the day
But still, those memories remain
Only memories remain, yeah yeah
Only memories remain
Only memories remain, yeah yeah
Only memories remain
Yeah, only remain, only remain, oh

Hillside Song
Compound fracture, gonna ring the gong
And sound the warnin' of what's to come
If we ain't careful as to where we step
Paradise callin' or untimely death
Compound fracture, gotta set the bone
Wrap it up, let it heal on its own
Don't walk on it, give it time to rest
Can't be all action all the time
Just got to give it some time, time, oh
There's no evil, there's no good
Only people doin' as they should
There is life in love and sound
Get as much as you can keep around
'Fore they put you into the ground
For who knows how long
How long
I know you're young; that's the time to learn
If we're too soft on you, you will get burned
Fill your skull with what you want
Can't be all action all the time
Just got to give it some time, time, oh
There's no evil, there's no good
Only people doin' as they should
Or as they should in the light of day
God and the Devil were made up anyway
But their meanings so real and so plain
There is life in love and sound
Get as much as you can keep around
'Fore they put you into the ground
For who knows how long
How long (Ooh)
For who knows how long
How long
'Til the next go 'round
'Til the next go 'round (Ah)
Yeah, I'm still, that stuff could all be, I'm just tryin' to explore
No, don't worry about it, man
(I love those jazz chords at the end; I love those jazz chords at the end)
I'm feelin' a little weird about it (Hahahaha)
And sound the warnin' of what's to come
If we ain't careful as to where we step
Paradise callin' or untimely death
Compound fracture, gotta set the bone
Wrap it up, let it heal on its own
Don't walk on it, give it time to rest

I Cant Wait
Livin in these continental
United states I fall
In with the sentimental
Lovers who want it all
They make all their faces pretty
They take every stride tall
But I just want to get back to my city
In no time... I'll have them all
But I can't wait
Ohh I can't wait
I can't wait anymore
But I can't wait
No I can't wait
I can't waiit anymore
Movements that make me shiver
Knowin that there's no pause
Wonderin if I'll deliver
To someone who's had it all
Knowin that there's no way
To get back if I should stray
So I guess I'll give the old boys a call...
And I'll act like I don't know you at all...
But I can't wait
Oh I can't wait
I can't wait anymore...
I can't wait no

The Waterfall is the seventh studio album by American rock band My Morning Jacket. Produced by Tucker Martine and group frontman Jim James, the album was released on May 4, 2015 by ATO Records and Capitol Records. After touring 2011's Circuital (2011), for two years the band took a break before regrouping in late 2013 to begin work on The Waterfall, a process which took eighteen months.
Much of The Waterfall was recorded at a hilltop studio located Stinson Beach, California, where the band rented seaside homes while recording. Many elements of the album—from its tone to the album art—are heavily indebted to the area and its nature. James mostly brought unfinished lyrics to the group to create a spontaneous development process. In addition, he suffered a back injury during the sessions that hindered its production.
His lyrics, likewise, document injury, romance and heartbreak, and spirituality, but center most on renewal. The album's music encompasses several genres, including folk, R&B, and psychedelia.
The album received favorable reviews from music critics, who considered it an improvement on their previous two albums. It debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S., and represented career bests in several countries' national album charts. To promote the record, murals of a waterfall were painted on buildings in several U.S. cities, including Los Angeles and Chicago. The group founded a philanthropic organization named after the album to support environmental causes. My Morning Jacket supported the record with a large summer tour, spanning five months and featuring appearances at theaters and festivals.
Outtakes for this release were repurposed into 2020's The Waterfall II.
