Can we put it in the diary? Can we make it a regular thing? Find a table, sit and wait Once you've ordered your coffee and cake Can we put it in the diary? Catch me up on your latest escape Over carefully clinking plates So sorry that I've kept you late again Squinting past popcorn prints Trying to tell a tale To keep you there Then I wake up And the details fade away ♪ Can we put it in the diary? The weekend would probably be best On the floor of the Friday night living room I could tone down the high-mindedness And unfurl classroom scandals Who said what Who's still friеnds with who Still laughing as the names fade away ♪ Can wе put it in the diary? In the most unexciting way No turn-ups for the books Just repeating the same old takes A scheduled debrief All the chairs assigned And I can keep you there Then I wake up And the details fade away
