Vigilantes of Love
It’s Not Bothering Me (2001)
[Verse 1]
Tone of voice
It's your choice
It's as plain as all the words your eyes betray
That's okay
It's not bothering me
I understand
Catch your drift
It's not exactly like it's something you could miss
Hollow as the sea inside my heart

[Verse 2]
There's a gate
There's a fence
I tried twice, but there's no getting over it
I thought the cash was greener there, it's not
I hope your boat
Rides the storm
Hope you sleep where it is eternally warm
On the waves of hollow seas inside your heart

[Chorus]
Well, in your heart
Yeah, that's the place
Where you must answer the phone
For every word
Yeah, that you speak
That leaves someone else alone
[Verse 3]
Don't feel bad
Hey, I don't
First you say you will, and then you say you won't
I'm still your friend
It's not bothering me
I plug in air guitars
And the chords are just a prayer up past the stars
Like the waves from hollow seas inside my heart

[Chorus]
Well, in your heart
Yeah, that's the place
Where you must answer the phone
For every word
Yeah, that you speak
That leaves someone else alone

[Verse 4]
Sure, it's trippy
Sure, it's sweet
It's as plain as all the words your eyes betray
That's okay

[Bridge]
It's not bothering me
It's not bothering me
It's not bothering me
It's not bothering me
Yeah, it's not bothering me
[Outro]
Worn-out suit
No doubt borrowed
Scent of old cologne, railroads and sorrow
God's love shines through a prism
So confused by television
Honey, meet me at my house
Kiss me full upon the mouth
Like they do in San Francisco
It's not bothering me
It's not bothering me
