[Verse 1] Just sitting here watching TV
The neon flicker of a bad history;
I call you up – "Will you come see me?
I think we both need some better company."

[Pre-Chorus] We try to mediate ourselves
With a fiction that someone else can tell

[Verse 2] Watching Blue Remembered Hills
It's been a while but you like it still
Our one connection is our taste in TV
So I guess it's just wild symmetry

[Pre-Chorus] We try to mediate ourselves
With a fiction that someone else can tell

[Chorus] Burned out
The channel turns out
You're a burn out
And I'm one too
