Lori McKenna - Not In This Live lyrics

It's cold for early June but
The sun is rising fast
There's a dew up on the quiet hill
Where he lays in the grass
Staring up at Heaven's gates
To see if he can see in Jesus' eyes

The woman that he thinks of
Is still lying fast asleep
As he asks for resolution and
Prays his soul to keep
A man of God in love can't touch
A man of God, temptation, sunrise

But it doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I don't care
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to
Run my fingers through your hair
It doesn't mean I wouldn't
Make sweet love to you so right
It just means not in this life

This has always been the path for him
Since the age of nine or ten
And if only he remembered now
The things he knew back then
It seemed God had a plan for him
A clear and decisive role

But he never would have seen her
If she hadn't come to pray
If she didn't need forgiveness
He'd still be a holy man today
If she wasn't so damn beautiful
If her eyes didn't bleed into his soul

But it doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I don't care
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to
Run my fingers through your hair
It doesn't mean I wouldn't
Make sweet love to you so right
It just means not in this life

Dear God, I am sorry for my sins
Dear God, I'm for the situation I'm in

He'll analyze the burning
Measure the tremble in his chest
Falls behind on duties
And he's sleeping less and less
He doesn't pay attention in church
He doesn't answer to his
Name when people call

He's got himself this apple
And it's looking so damn good
Oh, but just because he can bite it -
It doesn't mean he should
He lets her know his feelings
Eden is burning and he doesn't care at all

But it doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I don't care
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to
Run my fingers through your hair
It doesn't mean I wouldn't
Make sweet love to you so right
Oh, It just means not in this life

I'm sorry for my sins i'm sorry for my sins
I'm sorry for my sins i'm sorry for my sins

I'm sorry for my sins i'm sorry for my sins
I am sorry for my sins
Yeah, I am sorry for my sins

But it doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I don't care
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to
Run my fingers through your hair
It doesn't mean I wouldn't
Make sweet love to you so right

It just means not in this
Just means not in this life
Just means not in this life

I am sorry for my i am sorry for my
