Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I followed you on the internet
then something flipped a switch in my head
now I follow you for real instead
mad...
When people ask about it I lie
they would never appreciate why
to see you walk I drive and I fly
my
[Chorus]
Future wife
(She doesn't know that you exist)
Devote my life
(But she never even asked for this)
[Verse 2]
Started travelling wherever you go
from show to show
Left the lady who lived with me
getting ready to live this dream
A price to pay, with the loss of a job
between expensive tickets and the travelling costs -
I've given it all for you my future wife
and I'm standing in the debris of a ruined life.
[Chorus]
Future wife
(She doesn't know that you exist)
Devote my life
(But she never even asked for this)
For you I
(She doesn't even know your name)
Ruined my life
(And you got only yourself to blame)
[Bridge]
Then, one day I bring up the courage to
drop the act and climb up ahead to you
Frozen, your eyes are locked to mine
Piercingly, glowing and radiant in the spot light
I can feel the heat between you and me
Then I'm dragged down by security
[Outro]
won't give in without a fight
to step into your world again
the catwalk, stage and lights
entwined with love and pain

Future Wife is a song about a man who becomes obsessed with the idea of marrying a popular fashion model, to the point where he ruins his own life in pursuit of this futile goal.
Musically, it draws inspiration from great Synthpop acts of the 80s and 90s such as Depeche Mode or Tears For Fears.
This song was written and performed with some help from members on my discord server, Bobble and Jirushi, during various live streams. Thank you both for giving me ideas, helping with the lyrics and even providing some backing vocals for the chorus! You guys are truly awesome and made the process a whole lot more fun! :)
