The Guilty Ones [Lea Michele/Jonathan Groff]

[Wendla:]

Something's started crazy –

Sweet and unknown



Something you keep

In a box on the street –

Now it's longing for a home



[All:]

And who can say what dreams are?



[Wendla:]

Wake me in time to be lonely and sad



[All:]

And who can say what we are?



[Wendla:]

This is the season for dreaming



And now our bodies are the guilty ones

Who touch

And color the hours



Night won't breathe

Oh how we

Fall into silence from the sky



And whisper some silver reply



[Melchior:]

Pulse is gone and racing –

All fits and starts



Window by window

You try and look into

This brave new you that you are



[All:]

And who can say what dreams are?



[Wendla & Melchior:]

Wake me in time to be out in the cold



[All:]

And who can say what we are?



[Wendla & Melchior:]

This is the reason for dreaming



[All:]

And now our bodies are the guilty ones –

Our touch

Will fill every hour



Huge and dark

Oh our hearts

Will murmur the blues from on high



Then whisper some silver reply



And now our bodies are the guilty ones –

Our touch

Will color hours



Night won't breathe

Oh how we

Fall in silence from the sky



Then whisper some silver reply
