Reelin' in the Years Sözleri

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 even know a diamond

If you held it in your hand

The things you think are precious

I can't understand

CHORUS:

Are you reelin' in the years

Stowin' away the time

Are you gatherin' up the tears

Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin' me you're a genius

Since you were seventeen

In all the time I've known you

I still don't know what you mean

The weekend at the college

Didn't turn out like you planned

The things that pass for knowledge

I can't understand

CHORUS

I spend a lot of money

And I spent a lot of time

The trip we made to Hollywood

Is etched upon my mind

After all the things we've done and seen

You find another man

The things you think are useless

I can't understand

CHORUS
