Lyrics: "The Guilty Ones" from Spring Awakening

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 (except Melchior and Wendla):
And, who can say what dreams are?

Wendla:
Wake me in time to be lonely and sad.

All (except Melchior and Wendla):
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 in silence from the sky
and whisper some silver reply...

All (except Wendla and Melchior):
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh.

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 (except Wendla and Melchior):
And, who can say what dreams are?

Melchior:
Wake me in time to be out in the cold,

All (except Wendla and Melchior):
And, who can say what we are?

Melchior:
This is the reason for dreaming

All:
And now our bodies are the guilty ones.
Our touch will fill ev'ry hour.
Huge and dark, oh, our hearts
will murmur the blues from on high,

then whisper some silver reply
whoa-oh, whoa-oh.

And now our bodies are the guilty ones


***I posted this because every version i found on the internet was wrong in one way or another. I got this directly from the official songbook. I do not own any part of Spring Awakening, yada yada***
