Vienna Teng - White Light lyrics

rate me

<BR>

All of a sudden the conversation turns<br>

And everyone concerned is looking down<br>

Guilty party is right here in the room<br>

But no one can assume the high ground<br>

Oh it almost caught up with you<br>

Caught up with you then<br>

Oh you should've thought of this my friend<br>

<br>

If you knew it was wrong why did you do it<br>

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

And it feels so good to feed a habit<br>

You're just making the most of your borrowed time<br>

Waiting for the white light<br>

<br>

Heading home you swear that you'll be good<br>

Do everything you should, and know the facts<br>

But in the morning you're back to petty needs<br>

Tragedy recedes to photographs<br>

Oh it hasn't caught up with you<br>

Caught up with you yet<br>

No it hasn't taught you when to quit<br>

<br>

If you knew it was wrong why did you do it<br>

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

It is OK because everybody does it<br>

This whole party is rolling on borrowed time<br>

Waiting for the white light<br>

<br>

Shine down<br>

Wipe it all out again,<br>

Show me how<br>

It doesn't matter in the end<br>

<br>

If you knew it was wrong why did you do it<br>

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

It is OK because everybody does it<br>

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

<br>

But I know it's wrong, why do I do it<br>

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

It just takes so much to break a habit<br>

Even when I'm aware we are out of time<br>

Am I waiting for a white light<br>

<BR><BR>
