  • You know I want you
    It's not a secret I try to hide
    I know you want me
    So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied
    You claim it's not in the cards
    And fate is pullin' 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 wanna 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 gonna 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 Writer/s: Benj Pasek, Justin Paul
