Reelin' In the Years

Your everlasting summer you can see it fading fast So you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last Well you wouldn't know a diamond if you held it in your hand The things you think are precious I don't understand Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine You've been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen All this time I've known you I still don't know what you mean Well the weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned The things that pass for knowledge well I can't understand Are you feeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had a bough of mine Are you reeling in the years You're stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Well I've spent a lot of money and I've spent a lot of time The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind After all the things we've said and done you find another man The things you think are useless well I don't understand Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine
