[Verse 1]
Hello, my name is your TV
We've been together so long
So many memories
We solved so many problems
Situated comedies
I fed you ads and movie stars
And you always fell asleep
In my color bars

[Chorus]
But there's this world outside where the lighting's off
Scenes last too long and you lose the plot
All the girls, they lie and they break your heart
And nothing's done when the streets go dark
Here, see California
Where pretty people dream
And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea

[Verse 2]
And when they'd yell upstairs, you'd cry
Little boy inside their lies
In the dark, I'd watch your eyes
And I know the way they laugh
The jackals feast behind your back
Here you hide, but still they stab
In the dark, I feel you die
[Chorus]
In that world outside where the lighting's off
Scenes last too long and you lose the plot
All the girls, they lie and they break your heart
And nothing's done when the streets go dark
Here, see California
Where pretty people dream
Now see that icy vacant lot
Where they made your nose bleed

[Post-Chorus]
The flannel spread, the heater on
The world is dead, the sun is gone
Here, take my hand, I'll take you home
You'll never have to be alone
The picture's warping slowly
The scrolling seems unending
The snowy edges blurring
The bars between us bending
Feel you start to breathe
You are alive inside of me
Forever tan and strong and loved
You'll never bleed again
In dreamy California scenes
Where bad guys meet their destiny
And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea
