TRIBUNMANADO.COM - Saw You in a Dream dari The Japanese House adalah lagu yang sangat dreamy, lembut, tetapi menyimpan rasa kehilangan yang cukup dalam.

Lagu ini dirilis pada 2017 dalam EP Saw You in a Dream.

Intinya, lagu ini bercerita tentang merindukan seseorang yang sudah tidak lagi hadir dalam kehidupan kita, sampai-sampai satu-satunya tempat untuk bertemu dengannya adalah dalam mimpi.

Ada sesuatu yang menyakitkan dari gagasan itu: dalam mimpi, orang tersebut masih terasa nyata dan dekat, tetapi ketika terbangun, kita kembali dihadapkan pada kenyataan bahwa dia sudah tidak ada.

Berikut lirik lengkapnya:

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
Haven't talked to you in months
And I thought that I might cry
But I'm not that kind of guy

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

All good things come to an end
But I thought that this might last
But you came and left so fast
And 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)

I saw you in a dream
Then it came to an end
I wonder if you'll come and visit me again
You're taking your time to reappear
I'm starting to believe that when I call your name

You just don't hear me anymore
And I know that I shouldn't even try
It's a waste of time
And 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)
And 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
