rewrite the stars

This morning in the shower Mr. Osten was belting out a favorite song from The Greatest Showman...my heart melted especially with his very sweet "r" wewight the staws....

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
But 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
But within these walls
Know 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 we 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't 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

If it's impossible?

It's not impossible

Is it impossible?

Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?
And say you were meant to be mine?
And 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?
Taking 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
