Straight No Chaser - Reelin' In The Years lyrics
[Straight No Chaser - Reelin' In The Years lyrics]
See it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
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
You've been telling me you're a
Genius since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you I
Still don't know what you mean
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've spent a lot of money and
I've spent a lot of time
The trip we made to Hollywood
Is 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
