NF - Chasing_(Demo) Lyrics

NF Lyrics

"Chasing_(Demo)"
(feat. Mikayla Sippel)

[Mikayla Sippel:]
I just wanna run away
Find somewhere that feels safe
Find somewhere the bad days
Don't come as often in this sad phase
Somewhere I can be loved
Where I don't have to run away from my flaws
And I don't have to be afraid of my thoughts
This high, this high that I've been chasing

[NF (Mikayla Sippel):]
Doesn't have an exit
I don't learn my lesson
I don't see no endin' in sight
I don't feel the best when I try
Holdin' my head up high but it's not workin'
Makin' you cry makes me feel like a bad person (Bad person)
And something's got a hold on me
They don't see the world I see
Heartbeat in my chest feels weak
It's really startin' to weigh on me, yeah

[Mikayla Sippel & NF:]
I just wanna run away
And find somewhere that feels safe
Find somewhere the bad days
Don't come as often in this sad phase
Somewhere I can be loved
Where I don't have to run away from my flaws
And I don't have to be afraid of my thoughts
With this high, this high that I've been chasing

[NF (Mikayla Sippel):]
Always likes the sad trip
And ruin all my friendships
Way too many questions in my mind
I don't have the answers but I try
Holdin' my head up high but it's not workin', yeah
Making you sad makes me feel like a bad person (Bad person, person)
I said some awful things last week
Messin' with my self-esteem
Mixed up my priorities
It's really startin' to weigh on me, yeah

[Mikayla Sippel:]
I just wanna run away
Find somewhere that feels safe
Find somewhere the bad days
Don't come as often in this sad phase
Somewhere I can be loved
Where I don't have to run away from my flaws
And I don't have to be afraid of my thoughts
This high, this high that I've been chasing

"Chasing_(Demo)" is the first collaboration between NF and his 15-year-old fan Mikayla Sippel who made a cover version of this song when it was still unreleased. NF explained on Instagram and YouTube on the 12th of October 2020, "I posted a clip the other day of a song and was honestly shocked at how much you guys liked it. [...] A day or so after I posted the clip I heard a cover a fan did of it and I was blown away by it. Long story short, my producer Tommee and I took her audio and ended up finishing it for you guys! Thank you Mikayla Sippel for letting us use your amazing voice and inspiring me to actually release it."

Mikayla Sippel told about her involvement in this song, "I just want to thank Nate and his team for everything they’ve done, for this huge amazing opportunity and the support. It has always been one of my biggest dreams to collab with Nate, but I never thought it would actually happen!"
