Reelin' In The Years

Your everlastin' summer 
You can see it fadin' fast
So you grab a piece of somethin' 
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? 
Stowin' away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears? 
Have you had enough of mine? 

Are you reelin' in the years? 
Stowin' away the time? 
Are you gatherin' up the tears? 
Have you had enough of mine? 

You've been tellin' me you're a genius 
Since you were seventeen 
But in all the 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 
I can't understand 

Are you reelin' in the years? 
Stowin' away the time? 
Are you gatherin' up the tears? 
Have you had enough of mine? 

Are you reelin' in the years? 
Stowin' away the time? 
Are you gatherin' up the tears? 
Have you had enough of mine? 
I spent a lot of money 
And I spent a lot of time
And the trip we made to Hollywood 
Is still 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? 
Stowin' away the time? 
Are you gatherin' up the tears? 
Have you had enough of mine? 

Are you reelin' in the years? 
Stowin' away the time? 
Are you gatherin' up the tears? 
Have you had enough of mine?
