Unwrite the Stars

("Rewrite the Stars" with only Old English roots)

You know I like you
It isn't something I seek to hide
I know you like me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You say that we can’t be seen
The stars are pulling us away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
Who can stop me if I choose to say
That you are meant for me ?

What if we unwrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
I'd ever be by your side
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 come to be
So why don't we unwrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

You think it's child's play
You think I don't wish to run to you
But there are hurdles
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Since we can be
only you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

No one can unwrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us away
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 unwrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

All I wish is to fly with you
All I wish is to fall with you
So give me all of you

It seems it can’t be done (I think it can be done)
You think it can be done?

Say that it can be done

How do we unwrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
I'd ever be by your side
Since 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 come to be
And why don't we unwrite the stars?
Shifting the world to be ours

You know I like you
It isn't something I seek to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied
