The horse with the wings never turned up for the party 
 And I wonder how long til he comes looking for me 
So I wait in the room by the river and I watch the world go by 
 And I hear a girl cry and I notice the sound it comes from my own mouth 
And I hear your words "What have I done now? What have I done now?" 
 I look to the wall and you look to the hallway
 And you say, "I'm sorry for whatever it is," 
And I feel myself groan cause I know I've lived alone with you here for years now 
 And the scratching of the metal as you're putting on the kettle 
 Makes my skin crawl and I feel small, 
 And the birds they slip through the cracks in the gla** 
 And there's blood on the floor


When will this day break? 
When will my heart ache?
 When will this day break?
 When will I find my place?

 Don't talk to me like I'm a shell you found on the beach 
 And you put to your ear and you hear how clear I sound, 
 And you say, "Sing me a song," like I've nothing better to do than sing songs for you
 And you hang me on the wall so I'm taller than before 
 And I feel like I might fall but I don't
 I hang there quietly watching the life we lead 
 Like it's a prize I could never win
 A sea I could never swim 

When will this day break?
 When will my heart ache?
 When will this day break? 
When will I find my place?
