Reelin in The Years — текст песни (marvelous 3)

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





Chorus:

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





Chorus



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



Chorus
