Pick One, Pick Two

[Verse 1]
You kept each seed in a silver tin,
Every road got a map pinned in.
You said, “One more branch, then I’ll decide,”
While the roots pulled hard from either side.

[Pre-Chorus]
A little yes to every door,
A little room for something more.
The trunk kept trying to hold them all—
Now every choice leans toward the fall.

[Chorus]
Pick one, pick two—your branches sway,
Too much sky and you bow that way.
Tick-tock, kick back, the roots dig deep,
You can’t grow every dream you keep.
Pick one, pick two—let some leaves go,
You’re not the whole forest, you know.

[Verse 2]
You grew a ladder beside the stairs,
A spare set of wings for the office chairs.
You planted a future in every pot,
Then wondered why the soil was not.

[Pre-Chorus]
A little yes to every door,
A little room for something more.
The trunk kept trying to hold them all—
Now every choice leans toward the fall.

[Chorus]
Pick one, pick two—your branches sway,
Too much sky and you bow that way.
Tick-tock, kick back, the roots dig deep,
You can’t grow every dream you keep.
Pick one, pick two—let some leaves go,
You’re not the whole forest, you know.

[Bridge]
The gardener brings a paper crown,
Says, “Choose a limb or lie face-down.”
You laugh, then hear the timber complain—
Every maybe has a weight and a name.

[Final Chorus]
Pick one, pick two—your branches sway,
Too much sky and you bow that way.
Tick-tock, kick back, the roots dig deep,
You can’t grow every dream you keep.
Pick one, pick two—let some leaves go,
Stand up straight with room to grow.

[Outro]
One branch reaches; one branch stays.
The tree can breathe when it makes its choice.
