| Steely Dan – Reelin' In The Years Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
call me crazy but this song is rather simple to understand... a young man starts the song by talking about a girl who is immature and is childish rather growing up. She goes to school at the end of summer where she will leave her younger boyfriend. she holds onto him cause she thinks it will last.-- he then reflects on how he wants to marry her but she would not know what to do if he asked her. he then states shes not a goldigger because money cant buy her heart. he then asks if shes living in the moment and soaking in this part of her life. because most people just live fast and work too hard. he thinks she is taking life for granted the girl has been telling him shes smart and she wants to go to college to get an education. he doesnot agree with her at all. her first semester of college didnt go like she wanted to. he thinks college is overrated and doesnt agree with her once again. then back to the chorus again.... he tells his story about how he put alot of time into her and he relish's the years they have spent together..she found a guy who does not care for her. he doesnt understand how she leaves him when he cares for her so much and the other man she found is a loser. might be a little ramble in there but it sounds like a dream that went sour. |
