Rewrite The Stars

Lyrics

ROGER
I feel you near me, 
Even when galaxies try to pull you away
I know you feel it— 
That spark that flickers whenever you look my way

You say the cosmos chose paths 
That never let our destinies intertwine, 
But you’re right here, breathing, 
And nothing in the universe can tell me you’re not mine

So what if we rewrite the stars? 
Say you were meant to be here? 
Distance can’t cage our hearts, 
Not when the truth is crystal clear
It’s up to you, it’s up to me— 
Not fate, not rules, not gravity
So why don’t we rewrite the stars, 
Bend all the worlds so you stay near?

MELANIE
You think it’s simple, 
Like I can just fall into your arms and stay
But I’m from starlight— 
And you’re from soil and oceans far away

You wonder why I hesitate, 
Why I freeze when you say we could make this real
Inside these moments, 
It’s easy to pretend that love is all we feel

But no one can rewrite the stars, 
Not when our worlds are split in two
Every law keeps us apart, 
And I’m not someone fate designed for you
It’s not your choice, it’s not my choice— 
We’re drowned out by a thousand voices
How can we rewrite the stars, 
When even hope feels out of view?

ROGER & MELANIE
All I want is to run with you, 
All I want is to fall with you, 
Just let me hold all of you

MELANIE
It feels unreachable…

ROGER
It’s not unreachable…

MELANIE
Could it be reachable…?

ROGER & MELANIE
Say that it’s reachable

ROGER
How do we rewrite the stars? 
Say you were meant to be mine?

ROGER & MELANIE
Nothing can tear us apart 
If we decide our hearts align
It’s up to you, it’s up to me— 
Not destiny, not galaxies
Why don’t we rewrite the stars, 
Shape a new world where we both shine?

MELANIE
You know I want you— 
I’ve never tried to hide that truth
But I can’t have you
Our worlds would break, and I’d break you too
