Can We Put It In The Diary? Songtext
von David Brewis

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
