Reeling 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 |
You wouldnt know a diamond |
If you held it in your hand |
The things you think are precious |
I cant understand |
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 youre a genius |
Since you were seventeen |
In all the time Ive known you |
I still dont know what you mean |
The weekend at the college |
Didnt turn out like you planned |
The things that pass for knowledge |
I cant understand |
I spend a lot of money |
And I spent a lot of time |
The trip we made in hollywood |
Is etched upon my mind |
After all the things weve done and seen |
You find another man |
The things you think are useless |
I cant understand |
