Broken Devotion - Mint Julep

We play it cool

And keep our distance

Slips like water through our hands

We forget how it feels

There’s a ghost inside us

There are hands on your eyes

Spaces in between us

There are places we can’t hide

The heat and the light

Of this broken devotion

Don’t forget what it’s like

Let me let you go

You stand so quiet next to me

And I see it’s getting dark

It’s something in the air we breathe

And how it keeps us far apart

Put the record on

The wave is cresting beneath us

Our time and consequence

Binding us to fires we burn

In our hearts

The heat and the light

Of this broken devotion

Don’t forget what it’s like

Let me let you go
