From:
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
Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowing away the time?
Are you gathering up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?
Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowing away the time?
Are you gathering up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?
You been telling 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
Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowing away the time?
Are you gathering up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?
Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowing away the time?
Are you gathering up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?
[Musical break]
I spent 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
Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowing away the time?
Are you gathering up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?
Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowing away the time?
Are you gathering up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?
