Jesse is anxious for a second date, as he has fallen in love with her. They spend the night together, but while he's asleep, she steals his songs and leaves. When he wakes up in the morning, not only is Amanda gone, but she's disappeared altogether, last seen by the water where she first met Jesse. Her family believes she has finally committed suicide. Jesse fears all is lost, until one day when he hears one of his songs on the radio ("The Love I Meant to Say (Reprise)") sung by someone he knows is her, even though the singer is called “Nina,” and has come out of nowhere. Jesse sets out to find her in Los Angeles ("I Heard Your Voice in a Dream"), culminating in a confrontation at her first big gig.
Jesse: I thought I was hopeless, I thought I was broken I struggled to laugh when the whole room was joking I'd wait in the cold, but the door wouldn't open 'til I 'Til I heard your voice in a dream
And nothing comes easy when everyone's rushing The signal's got speed but there's no real connection I tried reaching out, it was just my reflection 'til I 'Til I heard your voice in a dream
So sing to me and I will forgive you For taking my heart in the suitcase you packed Sing to me like the lights didn't blind you Like you blinded me when I heard your voice in a dream
And I could have loved you but you had the hunger For life in the lights, so when they called your number I couldn't compete with the spell you were under Still I, I hear your voice in my dreams
So sing to me and I will forgive you For taking my heart in the suitcase you packed Sing to me like the lights didn't blind you Like you blinded me when I heard your voice in a dream
