An interview

Verse 1:

Did you get any sleep last night?

I thought I saw from the corner of my eye?

Did you have a dream or a terrible fright?

I heard you were up last night with a large sigh

Chorus:

An interview happens and it’s all same

They ask you questions which you could not frame

You ask them questions which no one asked for

This an interview for the rest of life

Verse 2:

The pressure builds as the time ticks on

Just make sure you’ve got that video call on

A bead of sweat hits the desk and they wonder is this guy okay?

Chorus:

An interview happens and it’s all same

They ask you questions which you could not frame

You ask them questions which no one asked for

This an interview for the rest of life

Verse 3:

It’s okay you won them over after all

We move to a small town in a smaller house

Sure, we’ve got our finances in order but there’s still the stall

I guess I will have to wait to buy that red blouse

Chorus:

An interview happens and it’s all same

They ask you questions which you could not frame

You ask them questions which no one asked for

This an interview for the rest of life

Verse 4:

I kissed you goodbye, whispered, “Good luck,”

I know you’re ready, but your heart’s stuck,

Waiting for the answer, the one that might change,

Everything we’ve dreamed of, rearrange.

Chorus:

An interview happens and it’s all same

They ask you questions which you could not frame

You ask them questions which no one asked for

This an interview for the rest of life

Verse 5:

You’ve been working hard, every single day,

But this moment’s bigger than what words can say,

I see the doubts, I hear the fears,

But I know you’ll push through, face the years.

Chorus:

An interview happens and it’s all same

They ask you questions which you could not frame

You ask them questions which no one asked for

This an interview for the rest of life

Verse 6:

So go ahead, take that step, take the chance, make your mark

I’ll be cheering, no matter how far

You’ve got what it takes, and I believe in you

I’ll be here, waiting with arms so true

Go ahead, show ‘em what you’re made of, shine so bright

You’ll make it through, everything will be alright

Chorus:

An interview happens and it’s all same

They ask you questions which you could not frame

You ask them questions which no one asked for

This an interview for the rest of life

Verse 7:

In the interview, you’re putting it all on the line,

I’m right here, waiting, hoping they’ll find,

The strength you carry, the spark in your mind,

In the interview, you’re crossing that line,

I’m here, praying they see your shine.

bridge:

I know the weight you carry, it's heavy and real,

But the strength I see in you, it’s something I feel,

Whether they say yes or whether they say no,

You’ve got the fire inside, and it’ll always grow.

I’ll be here for you, through every test,

You’re my heart, my love, you’re always my best,

No matter the outcome, no matter the fight,

I believe in you, you’ll be alright

Chorus:

An interview happens and it’s all same

They ask you questions which you could not frame

You ask them questions which no one asked for

This an interview for the rest of life

for the rest

for the rest

for the rest

for the rest of your life.
