Rewrite the Stars
Joseph Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not a secret I try to hide, no
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied, no
You claim it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
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, 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 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
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
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?
Changing the world to be ours
Tonight
In Joseph Vincent's song "Rewrite the Stars," the singer expresses his love for someone who also reciprocates the same feelings. However, they face obstacles that they believe will prevent them from being together. The singer suggests they have the power to "rewrite the stars" and be together, even though others and external factors have deemed it impossible. The singer pleads with his love interest to consider rewriting their fate, as he is willing to do whatever it takes to be with them.
The lyrics of "Rewrite the Stars" touch upon the theme of true love overcoming insurmountable odds. It is a common narrative seen in many romance movies and novels, where the singer is faced with countless risks and barriers but is still willing to fight for their love. In the song, the singer believes that even though they might be separated by time and distance, they can still find a way to be together if they work hard enough. The idea of fate, and the singer's ability to change it, is a key feature of the song's message.
Line by Line Meaning
You know I want you
I am not afraid to express my feelings about you
It's not a secret I try to hide, no
I cannot keep it to myself, I am open about my feelings
I know you want me
I can sense that you feel the same way about me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied, no
Don't give excuses, we should be together
You claim it's not in the cards
You think it is not meant to be
But fate is pulling you miles away
Life seems to be taking us in different directions
And out of reach from me
We may be physically apart, but emotionally connected
But you're here in my heart
You occupy a special place in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
I am determined to make it work, regardless of the circumstances
That you're my destiny?
I believe that we are meant to be together
What if we rewrite the stars?
Imagine if we could change our fate
Say you were made to be mine
We were created for each other
Nothing could keep us apart
No obstacle can separate us
You'd be the one I was meant to find
I have been searching for you
It's up to you, and it's up to me
The decision is ours to make
No one can say what we get to be
We have the power to create our own future
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Let's take control of our destiny
Maybe the world could be ours
We can have everything we want
Tonight, tonight
Right now, we have the chance to make it happen
You think it's easy
You believe that it can be done without any difficulties
You think I don't want to run to you
You assume that I am not eager to be with you
But there are mountains
We may face great challenges
And there are doors that we can't walk through
There are obstacles that cannot be overcome
I know you're wondering why
I understand why you doubt us
Because we're able to be
We work well together
Just you and me within these walls
We are great behind closed doors
But when we go outside
Once we leave this space
You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all
You will realize that we were not meant to be
No one can rewrite the stars
Our destiny is set
How can you say you'll be mine?
It is not possible for us to be together
Everything keeps us apart
Too many things stand in the way
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
We do not belong together
It's not up to you, it's not up to me
Our fate is beyond our control
When everyone tells us what we can be
We are limited by societal expectations
How can we rewrite the stars?
It seems impossible to change our destiny
Say that the world can be ours
But what if we could have it all?
All I want is to fly with you
I want to soar to endless possibilities with you
All I want is to fall with you
I want to experience everything with you
So just give me all of you
I want your entire being, all of you
It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
It seems unachievable, but it can be done
Is it impossible?
Can we overcome the obstacles and be together?
Say that it's possible
Let's have faith that we can make it happen
Changing the world to be ours
Let's change the circumstances to fit our desires
Why don't we rewrite the stars?
Let's take control and create our own destiny
Tonight
We have the chance to make it happen right now
