All of a sudden the conversation turns
And everyone concerned is looking down
The 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

So 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
Is it okay 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
Is it okay because everybody does it?
No laws are broken if we're all committing the same crime

Well, I know it's wrong why do I do it?
I don't know, I don't mean to, it just slipped my mind
It just takes so much to break a habit
Even when I'm aware that we're all out of time

Am I waiting for a white light?
Am I waiting for a white light?
Am I waiting for a white light?
Waiting for a white light
Am I waiting for the white light, white light, white light?
