Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Salt on the railing
Cold on my hands
The shore keeps calling
Like it knows where I am
Bare feet on broken
Driftwood and foam
The night pulls open
And I follow it home
[Pre-Chorus]
Past the black water
Past the torn pines
Something in me
Starts to align
[Chorus]
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
Moonlight on my tongue
Pulling me on and on
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
(Whoa-oh)
Into the new wonder
[Verse 2]
Wolf cries in the distance
Thin as a wire
The gulls spin circles
Over wrecks in the tide
Wind in the grasses
Like a shaking hymn
Every step I take now
Feels like I’m becoming him
[Pre-Chorus]
Past the black water
Past the torn pines
Something in me
Starts to align
[Chorus]
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
Moonlight on my tongue
Pulling me on and on
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
(Whoa-oh)
Into the new wonder
[Bridge]
If the world is a door
Then I’m halfway through
If the dark has a name
It is not mine to keep
Let the waves keep breaking
Let the night sing low
I’ve got a road in my bones
And I’ve got to go
[Final Chorus]
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
Moonlight on my tongue
Pulling me on and on
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
(Whoa-oh)
Into the new wonder
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
Moonlight on my tongue
Pulling me on and on
I was not made to run
I was made to wander
(Whoa-oh)
Into the new wonder

Style
Post-grunge alt-rock with driving mid-tempo power chords, tom-heavy verses, and a half-time chorus that opens into huge open-sky guitars; verse stays tight with low bass and ghostly howl textures, pre-chorus lifts on snare builds and vocal stack, chorus hits wide with gang doubles and a shouted anchor line. Use wave crashes, wind swells, reverse guitar fades, and a final feedback swell. Raw male vocals, close-mic in verses, strained harmony on the hook, bright punchy mix with a rugged edge., rock, post-grunge
