Lyrics: Benj Pasek/Justin Paul
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
You know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pulling you miles away
And out of a reach from me
But you're hearing my heart
So who can stop me if I decide it's on my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'll be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one could say what we get to be
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, yeah
But there are mountains (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
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing can keep us apart
You'll be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, it's up to me, yeah
No one can say what we get to be
Why don't we rewrite the stars?
Baby the world could be ours, tonight
