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 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

[ANNE WHEELER]

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 wonderin' 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

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]

All I want is to fly with you

All I want is to fall with you

So just give me all of you

[ANNE WHEELER]

It feels impossible

[PHILLIP CARLYLE]

It's not impossible

[ANNE WHEELER]

Is it impossible?

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]

Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER, PHILLIP CARLYLE]

Say you were made to be mine

[PHILLIP CARLYLE & ANNE WHEELER]

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

Why don't we rewrite the stars?

Changin' the world to be ours

[ANNE WHEELER]

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
