How to prove expected residual time formula

Can anyone help me to show that for a general random variable X with a fixed distribution to model the time interval between the independent events. The expected residual time, which is the time one has to wait for the event happen if she arrive at a random time is $frac{E(X^2)}{2E(X)}$.
