Auckland

How do you measure five years
Is it weeks is it months is it minutes
Is it counting the crickets
Behind the hill
Where we sat to watch the train

How do you measure the time
We spend together
Is it seconds or days
Or the moments that you held me
Each time i was in pain

We work on a broken clock
It's not about the time
But the spaces that are mine and yours
To hold close in our hearts
And a bit of luck

And i think we found that in Auckland
Back before the world collapsed
I saw you and no time had passed
Kinda wish we both got stuck in Auckland
We'd compromise and pick a house
And take turns on our favourite blouse

Always safe and sound
Take out on your couch
Tiramisu for lunch
Our playlist in the background

We were off to a rocky start
But made up in due time
I never thought my heart would beat
For a set of lungs
That isn't mine

And i wish we could go back to Auckland
Forget the world and all its plagues
Spend all our time in cat cafes
I would meet you right now in Auckland
Bring a book of poems you could read
There's nothing else i'd ever need

By surprise we synchronise
Unsure if it's design or chance
Glasgow Dublin Amsterdam
Lisbon or the south of France
I'll save you a seat
If you save me a dance
