Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He put so much into her life
She took so much out of his
It was a crucial assignment
No one ever asked for this
[Verse 2]
It was a little confusing
He thought he knew what to do
But now they're walking in silence
Little girl and soldier blue
[Verse 3]
Well, she wrote you a song saying that she approved
But you didn't understand
And when love comes along, it's just a Catcher In The Rye
It's hard to make those long term plans
[Verse 4]
Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her
Well, it's the code of love
You could never ask for more
You could never ask for more
[Verse 5]
They made a certain agreement
He's bound to do what he's told
He ran back home with the message
Screwed up in a pocket cold
[Verse 6]
She sat at home with her reason
A sour note and a tear
But love comes home for the season
Breaking down the walls of fear
[Verse 7]
Well, she wrote you a song saying that she approved
But you didn't understand
And when love comes along, it's just a Catcher In The Rye
It's hard to make those long term plans
[Verse 8]
Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her
Well, it's the code of love
You could never ask for more
You could never ask for more
[Verse 9]
Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her
Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her
[Verse 10]
Code of love
Code of love
Code of love
Code of love
[Verse 11]
Code of love
Code of love
Code of love
Code of love
