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
