Lovely Bones, The movie - Reelin\' in the Years lyrics

rate me

writers: Fagen, Donald;Becker, Walter<br>

<br>

Your everlasting summer<br>

You can see it fading fast<br>

So you grab a piece of something<br>

That you think is gonna last<br>

You wouldn't know a diamond<br>

If you held it in your hand<br>

The things you think are precious<br>

I can't understand<br>

<br>

CHORUS:<br>

Are you reelin' in the years<br>

Stowin' away the time<br>

Are you gatherin' up the tears<br>

Have you had enough of mine<br>

<br>

You been tellin' me you're a genius<br>

Since you were seventeen<br>

In all the time I've known you<br>

I still don't know what you mean<br>

The weekend at the college<br>

Didn't turn out like you planned<br>

The things that pass for knowledge<br>

I can't understand<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

I spend a lot of money<br>

And I spent a lot of time<br>

The trip we made in Hollywood<br>

Is etched upon my mind<br>

After all the things we've done and seen<br>

You find another man<br>

The things you think are useless<br>

I can't understand<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>
