“i saw you in a dream” is an acoustic version of The Japanese House’s own 2017 single “Saw You in a Dream.” This was confirmed during her 2018 UK tour.
The song focuses on the loss of a friend and their subsequent appearance in one of Amber’s dreams.
[Verse 1]
I saw you in a dream
You had stayed the same
You were beckoning me
Said that I had changed
Tried to keep my eyes closed
I want you so bad
Then I awoke and it was so sad
[Pre-Chorus]
Haven't talked to you in months
And I thought that I might cry
But I'm not that kind of girl
[Verse 2]
I saw you in a dream
You came to me
You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision
There was no reason, no explanation
The perfect hallucination
[Pre-Chorus]
All good things come to an end
But I thought that this might last
But you came and left so fast
[Chorus]
When I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
[Verse 3]
I saw you in a dream
Then it came to an end
I wonder if you'll come visit me again
You're taking your time to reappear
I'm starting to believe that when I call your name
[Pre-Chorus]
You just don't hear me anymore
And I know that I shouldn't even try
It's a waste of time
[Chorus]
When I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
When I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
It isn't the same but it is enough

It’s my favourite song I’ve ever written. My voice doesn’t sound perfect, but it’s a really emotional song. It’s two live takes, and I think I was crying on one of them. It’s about my friend who passed away. I find it difficult to think of writing music as therapy because it’s not therapeutic for me...
