lyrics

Step 1: Board the boat and find your sea legs.
When the semaphore signals, choose your way.
Step 2: Ignore the muddy waters in your head.
Everything is fixed, until the goalposts change
The call of the void
Don't Jump
And there's no time, until we make time
And there's no time like now
Step 3: Heed the words your mother said
A stranger's a debt you've yet to pay
Step 4: Hopscotch, through their shoes instead
Savour what you can, but never stay too late
The call of the void
Don't Jump
And we won't face, if we just save face
And there's no face quite like yours
Pay no mind to the soothsayers on the mountain
They come and go and I should know x 2
My story ends there
Step on,
Step off,
All in time
The call of the void
Don't Jump
And there's no time,
Until we make time
And there's no time at all.
