Rewrite The Stars Lyrics by Zac Efron and Zendaya

PHILLIP CARLYLE

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
