White Light

All of a sudden the conversation turns

And everyone concerned is looking down

Guilty party is right here in the room

But no one can assume the high ground

Oh it almost caught up with you

Caught up with you then

Oh you should've thought of this my friend

If you knew it was wrong why did you do it

You don't know, you didn't mean to, it slipped your mind

And it feels so good to feed a habit

You're just making the most of your borrowed time

Waiting for the white light

Heading home you swear that you'll be good

Do everything you should, and know the facts

But in the morning you're back to petty needs

Tragedy recedes to photographs

Oh it hasn't caught up with you

Caught up with you yet

No it hasn't taught you when to quit

If you knew it was wrong why did you do it

You don't know, you didn't mean to, it slipped your mind,

It is OK because everybody does it

This whole party is rolling on borrowed time

Waiting for the white light

Shine down

Wipe it all out again,

Show me how

It doesn't matter in the end

If you knew it was wrong why did you do it

You don't know, you didn't mean to, it slipped your mind

It is OK because everybody does it

No laws are broken if we're all committing the same crime

But I know it's wrong, why do I do it

I don't know, I don't mean for it to slip my mind

It just takes so much to break a habit

Even when I'm aware we are out of time

Am I waiting for a white light
