I am intrigued by this line in your song:

"Each choice we make, it forsakes another"

Of course, that is absolutely true. If we do exercise A between 9 and 10 AM, we cannot do exercise B between 9 and 10 AM

This is something that I was OBSESSED about in my senior year of college

I was sort of paralyzed as I reasoned as follows: I shouldn't go for a doctorate in poli sci as that would preclude going to law school as that would preclude being in a rock and roll band as that would preclude just raising hell as I struck a pose of arrogant, aristocratic dismay and contemptuousness.

However, in retrospect, I think we can do more with our lives and time than we give ourselves credit for. I am not urging us to become hyperactive, multi-tasking capitalist nerds from hell, but one doesn't have to be a one note Johnny.

I am wondering what prompted you to write this lyric. Did your daughters have a conflict re which roads they would travel and which possibilities they would pass up.
