Story Behind The Song
I read a newspaper article that said that fish don't notice water. I found this to be interesting and expanded this into the idea that we often do not notice the things that are vital to our survival, primarily because these things are always there.

Lyrics
I Don't Notice Love
Fish don't notice water
Birds don't notice air
And rain don't notice clouds up above
I sit here feeling sorry for myself every night
I'll tell you what my problem is
I don't notice love
Sick don't notice wellness
Work don't notice play
Noise don't notice peace near enough
Everytime I think I've got my life wrapped up tight
I find out what the problem is
I don't notice love
CHORUS
When I don't notice love
I'm busy staring at my feet
I'm busy kicking rocks out of the road
I want it sure enough
And even though it's all around
The funny thing is I don't notice love
Hate don't notice sunshine
Blame don't notice stars
And greed don't notice corn in the field
Maybe it's the gravity that keeps me inside
Or maybe it's philosophy when I don't notice love
CHORUS
When I don't notice love
I'm busy staring at my feet
I'm busy kicking rocks out of the road
I want it sure enough
And even though it's all around
The funny thing is I don't notice love
