(Mmm-yeah, ooh)

Verse 1

Golden haze hanging over the avenue

Your shadow dancing where the streetlights bloom

Radio low, windows halfway down

The city's humming like it knows us now

Pre-Chorus

Nothing's promised, nothing stays

But the night keeps calling out my name

And every corner feels brand new

Whenever I'm standing next to you

Chorus

Mm, keep me in your atmosphere

Where the air feels different this time of year

Time moves slow when you're around

Like the world forgot to make a sound

Painted gold beneath the moon

I wasn't looking, then I found you

Somewhere between leaving and holding on

I left my heart in Oakland

Verse 2

The pavement glows after another long day

A thousand strangers drift and fade away

We talk about nothing, we talk about dreams

Like how simple everything can seem, mm

Pre-Chorus

Nothing's promised, nothing stays

But the night keeps calling out my name

And every corner feels brand new

Whenever I'm standing next to you

Chorus

Mm, keep me in your atmosphere

Where the air feels different this time of year

Time moves slow when you're around

Like the world forgot to make a sound

Painted gold beneath the moon

I wasn't looking, then I found you

Somewhere between leaving and holding on

I left my heart in Oakland
