One Line or Two?

Verse 1

There’s a little white box in a brown paper bag

Sittin’ on the counter like it knows what I have

In my chest, in my head, in the middle of the day

Three little hearts and a what-if on the way

I’ve counted the rooms, I’ve counted the cost

Counted the hours of sleep I’ve already lost

But there’s a quiet little whisper I can’t ignore

That’s knocked on this tired heart before

Pre-Chorus

I’ve said we’re done, I’ve said we’re through

So why am I praying, “God… just not two”?

Chorus

My heart says yes, my house says no

My arms remember what my mind lets go

I’ve got little shoes lined up by the door

And laundry folded on the living room floor

Logic says one line would be best

But love don’t always listen to sense

I’m standin’ here in the in-between

Of one pink line… or two unseen

Verse 2

I know the stretch of a midnight cry

The way your body gives and you don’t ask why

The way your world gets smaller and wide

All at the same time inside

And I know the ache of a “last baby” thought

The way you hold on a little longer than you ought

To the rocking chair and the newborn smell

And the season you swore you handled well

Pre-Chorus 2

I trust the plan, I trust the truth

But I’m still scared of what love might do

Chorus

My heart says yes, my house says no

My hands are full but they still don’t know

If I’d make more room somehow

Or breathe relief when it’s settled now

Logic says one line would be best

But hope still beats inside my chest

I’m standin’ here where fear meets faith

Between a sigh… and a wait

Bridge

Maybe grace comes when it needs to

Maybe strength shows up right on cue

Maybe peace looks different than I planned

Maybe God just holds my hand

And if it’s one, I’ll thank Him still

If it’s two… I know He will

Carry what I cannot do

Like He’s always pulled me through

Final Chorus (soft lift)

My heart says yes, my house says no

But He already knows which way I’ll go

So I’ll breathe in deep and let it be

Whatever’s written over me

One pink line or two in view

I’ll be held the same way through

Standing here, but not alone

In the space between the unknown
