Rewrite the Stars Songtext
von Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

You know I want you
It′s not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it′s not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You′d be the one I was meant to find
It′s up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don′t we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
You think it's easy


You think I don′t want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you′re wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you′ll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I′m not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It′s not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Say that it′s possible
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It′s up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours
You know I want you
It′s not a secret I try to hide
But I can′t have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied
