Snow in April
Dear Secret
I hope you’re doing well
It’s been a while since we’ve had Snow in April
Oh you’re the sweetest
When you’re putting your head down
Staring at the ground, oh dear, you’re making my heart pound
You’ll never get this letter
We’re not seventeen
But you will keep my sweater
Cause it reminds you of me
We’ll run away in your daddy’s truck
Drive all night ‘til the sun comes up again
We may be reckless and probably lost
Just a little lost, just a little lost, watching our story begin
Dear Secret
You kept me up all night
Glowy-eyed staring at your window
Cause every time I look at you
Think about autumn 22’
You were there, sat on that chair
In the front row
I won’t send you this letter
Guess I haven’t thought this trough
But I will keep your sweater
Cause it reminds me of you
We’ll run away in your daddy’s truck
Drive all night ‘til the sun comes up again
We may be reckless and probably lost
Just a little lost, just a little lost, watching our story begin
🎶
We’ll run away in your daddy’s truck
Drive all night ‘til the sun comes up again
We may be reckless and probably lost
Just a little lost, just a little lost
If we’re a dream I don’t wanna wake up
Look at us, thunderstruck, dancing out in the rain
We may be reckless and probably lost
Just a little lost, just a little lost, watching our story end
Need You
Had a shitty day
Tried to fade it out by being on sick leave
No one told me to stop so I just went on
I could use some help
Getting out of my head, getting out of my head, oh and
I’m a mess, but this feels so right when it’s probably wrong
Oh meanwhile you’re realms of miles away
Probably laughing at a joke some stranger made
Would it be weird if I asked you to stay tonight?
Oh I-I
I don’t really know what’s wrong
All I know is I need someone
I need somebody to lighten the dark in myself, whenever my stars stop to shine
My love for you is all but gone
I‘m living on the edge of moving on
It feels all blue
All I know is
I-I-Ihi-I need you
I had kind of a rough January the first, I threw a fit, then paid for it
The second was hell, but it eased off on the third
Sometimes I feel like they’re all turning against me, instead of defend me, they thread to end me, they all get each other, and I’m trapped in my world
Make me stop make me stop, make me forget my lines
I guess to think of you became my favorite crime
I Put my headphones on, listend to your songs and cried
Oh I-I
I don’t really know what’s wrong
All I know is I need someone
I need somebody to lighten the dark in myself, whenever my stars stop to shine
My love for you is all but gone
I‘m living on the edge of moving on
It feels all blue
All I know is
I-I-Ihi-I
I need you (Oooh)
I need you
I need you (Oo-oh all i know is)
I need you
I don’t know what’s going on
All I know is I need someone
I need somebody to lighten the dark in myself, somebody just like you
I need you
The Foggiest Day
Edges, hours
Red leaves and towers
Something was born on the twenty third, yeah
Same meaning, wrong words
Time heals but time hurts
This is so much bigger than all of what I’ve heard
Before you pouring rain was all I’d know
Was four scores and nineteen years ago
We were born to love and grow
To find that one thing we‘re looking for
I’m so lost, but too in love to let it go
Should your heart ever feel alone
Know life ain‘t always skin to bone
I’ll be waiting in the raging winter snow
Cause on the foggiest day
I gave my heart away
10000 songs, 10000 stars
They don’t explain
What I feel when I look at you
Now it’s cold cause it is raining again
I reached the end
And all the noise slowly faded away
Out of breath I called it seven days
I miss my bed
We were born to love and grow
To find that one thing we‘re looking for
I’m so lost, but too in love to let it go
Should your heart ever feel alone
Know life ain‘t always skin to bone
I’ll be waiting in the raging winter snow
Cause on the foggiest day
I gave my heart away
Remember
December
I know you felt the ember
You turned up
And made the clock stop
I swear you caused a heart shock
Mistook foes
But the book knows
That you were here twelve moons ago
I saw blunt blade
But then the pix fade
We watched the worst COAT ever made
Cause on the foggiest day
I gave my heart away
Hej Hej
One, two-
One, two, three, four-
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej
I’ve been walking circles, never knowing where to go
Always chasing shadows, still, there’s fire in my soul
Cause it’s all that matters
A-all that matters
It’s a long way up to the top
We’re gonna make, it start today
Step by step, day by day
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej
We let the waters run and we let all the fires burn
Don’t be scared to fall, it’s how we grow, it’s how we learn
Let the cold winds blow, yeah let your tears stream down your face
Let it go, speak your truth, you do you
Cause it’s all that matters
A-all that matters
It’s a long way up to the top
We’re gonna make, it start today
Step by step, day by day
Singing Hey my love
It’s gonna be alright now
No more running away, no more running away
Enough of standing in our own way
Hey my child
We were lost for quite a while
But now i’m with you
I’m here for you
With all my heart, all my heart, all my heart
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej hej hej hej
Hej hej hej hej hej
(Cause it’s all that matters
A-all that matters
It’s a long way up to the top but no matter
Cause it’s all that matters
A-all that matters
It’s a long way up to the top)
We’re gonna make it, start today
Step by step, day by day
Tell Me Why
I‘m home alone on a Saturday night
All my hope is gone but there‘s so much on my mind, yeah
I fear this is a never ending story
But what if it ends now
Everytime I close my eyes I‘m burning for the feeling
It takes some kind of hurt to change the season
I believe in good and that things happen for a reason
But sometimes I‘m just looking up there screaming
Tell me why
Tell me why
Just tell me why
Tell me why
And tell me why
Now I‘m crying all these tears on my own
Not even close to sane and far from letting go
And it‘s hard for me to talk, but it‘s harder to be quiet
I was stronger than my demons all along
Everytime I close my eyes I‘m burning for the feeling
It takes some kind of hurt to change the season
I believe in good and that things happen for a reason
But sometimes I‘m just looking up there screaming
Oh, it hurts to see them walk around like we don‘t all need changing
When faith is lost then we‘re not gonna make it
Now I’m in my head but memories are lost and thoughts are caging
There‘s never enough time to just be waiting for you to
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell Me Why
You can‘t tell me why
Can you?
The Secret
You were gone in just a night
A flicker of a backstreet light
My whole world crumbled, up in fire, I couldn’t find the strength to fight
I still miss you all my time
I feel you in the shadows
You’re everywhere i go
Now my life is haunted
Haunted by your ghost
I was brave for you so long
But it’s a deadly nature, to be strong (now you’re gone)
This town used to be my home, but I feel nothing anymore
It hit me like a stroke
The silence said it all
Two months from December
I won’t be worth your time
Cause once the dark is fading
I might go and change my mind
Who the hell won’t love you
Heaven knows i’ll fall again
But the day you get The Secret
I will be your friend
Where were you that day you left me drowning in the rain
Don’t want the scars to heal if there’s still beauty in the pain
Not your fault, it’s who you are, you keep it in, you’re scared of love
Cause all it does is kill your heart
I can’t lose you like i lost myself
Who could ever hate you
Heaven knows i’ve tried
I gave you all my midnights
But you were never truly mine
This house is full of strangers
Strangers with brown eyes
But the day you get The Secret
I will be your friend
About
Hi! Im Joyce, I’m 17 years old, and I love music! Haha, I know, everyone says that but seriously, it’s one of the things I love most in this world, right after my family, Christmas, rain, the stars and Europa Park of course!
I started playing the guitar when I was 14, after an Ed Sheeran concert on September 17th 2022, and I started writing songs. Mostly bad ones, but eventually a few I actually love. I’m inspired by dull things like the weather, but also by cool things like people or the highs and lows of growing up. Honestly very inspired by life, which I think can be hard, but so much fun! Weird but f**king beautiful.
Dunno how to describe my style, guess I’m somewhere between acoustic pop and indie storytelling but I wanna try lots of things. Like EDM or Rap. (stick around if you don’t wanna miss that;) Here are some of my heroes; Ed Sheeran, Avicii, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, Imagine Dragons, Maisie Peters and lots more.
Right now Im constantly learning, trying everything, screwing up and trying again. Guess I’m just following my dream, which I think is the most incredible thing in the world, so thanks for that ❤️
My goal is to create something beautiful, something to leave behind, something that brings people joy. Timeless Music. That’s what I want to make, that’s what I’m trying to make ❤️ (Told ya I love Tim)
See you very soon, lots of love,
Joyce
