Reelin' in the Years

It's your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a hold of something that you think is gonna last
You wouldn't know a diamond if you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious, I can't understand

Are we reeling in those years?
Stowing away the time
Are you gathering up those tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

Are we reeling in those years?
Stowing away the time
Are you gathering up those tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

You've been telling me your dreams since you were seventeen
In all those years I've known you I still don't know what you mean
That weekend after college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand

Are we reeling in those years?
Stowing away the time
Are you gathering up those tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

Are we reeling in those years?
Stowing away the time
Are you gathering up those tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

I spend a lot of money and I spend a lot of time
The trip we made in Hollywood is still etched across my mind
After all the things we've done and seen you'd find another man
The things you think are useless I can't understand

Are we reeling in those years?
Stowing away the time
Are you gathering up those tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

Are we reeling in those years?
Stowing away the time
Are you gathering up those tears?
Have you had enough of mine?
