JUST LIKE YOU
NF Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it's my last day
I want you to know when you're alone and you feel afraid
You're not the only person in the world that isn't okay

There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you
There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you

It's strange the way the mind can wander, but also stop to gossip
And chat with memories that you and me aren't really fond of
Maybe you're out to find love, maybe you lost who you was
Maybe you're just like me and feel the need to stay in your rut
'Cause if you left it, you might feel like you're no longer you
It's so impressive, the way the mind can play with the truth
It's interestin' that nobody can walk in your shoes
But still relate and feel the same so in a way, guess we do

You ever think about what it would be like
If the clouds were gone and you could see light?
If the door was open would you take flight
Or just close the curtains up and stay inside?
Take a walk with me, take a risk with me
I'm scared too and it gets so tempting
When you're so empty, to disown everything you hold
Dearly, when you know
Clearly, you've been so buried, in your own
Fairy tale, the soul's tearing bunch of holes in me
I relate to it, but in case you been thinking no one does
Here's a great theory
Throw a hail Mary, let your mind fly
To the sunrise, could be so scary
Make your faith vary, feel the pain glaring
But the weight carried ain't in vain hear me (hear me)

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it's my last day
I want you to know when you're alone and you feel afraid
You're not the only person in the world that isn't okay

There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you
There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you

So often I feel desperate, I think my heart's infected
How about yours? How about yours? How about yours? I guess if
You feel the best when your life is hectic
You might be destined to stay defective
So join the club, it ain't that hard to get in
It's hard to leave though, look at the guest list
I bet that, your name is on it, don't believe me? Check it
See dead ends in life we come to tend to raise some questions
Suggestion, know that your feelings might give wrong directions
Infested, yeah, with the feeling of failure
Let it take over your body it makes you
Question the life that you have situations
You might have enjoyed, become nothing but dated
Old and forgotten but what would you say
If I told you that there was some hope we could make it?
I know what you're thinkin', I'm thinkin' it too
Could you really improve and be something worth savin'?
See, I could pretend like I have all the answers
But none of us do, it's the reason we battle
Convincing yourself that you don't really matter's
Like feeding a cancer and letting it travel
To every part of you but what if we did
The unthinkable and cancel our trips?
What's achievable depends on the risk
So pick up your chin and listen to this

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it's my last day
I want you to know when you're alone and you feel afraid
You're not the only person in the world that isn't okay

There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you
There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you (you, you, you)

Yeah
Everybody falls sometimes
Just remember that that's alright
It's the rainy days that give us love for the sun
And if it isn't, I guess I'll be fine believing it does, oh yeah
Everybody falls sometimes
Just remember that that's alright
It's the lows in life that make you cherish the highs
And if isn't, I guess I'll be fine believing a lie, ayy

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it's my last day
I want you to know when you're alone and you feel afraid
You're not the only person in the world that isn't okay

There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you




There's millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you

Overall Meaning

"Just Like You" is a song by American rapper NF released on his third studio album titled "Perception". The opening verse touches on the fear of not being okay and the sense of loneliness that accompanies it. The follow-up verses emphasize the power of one's thoughts, the way the mind can wander, and how it can play with the truth. The chorus repeats the statement that there are millions of people like you out there, reminding the listener they are not alone in their struggles.


The song then delves into feelings of desperation and questioning one's worth. NF reminds his fans that it is okay to have negative thoughts or to feel stuck in a rut. He touches on the notion that we might be destined to stay "defective." Nevertheless, he emphasizes the importance of having hope and working on improving oneself. Finally, the song concludes by emotionally telling his listeners that it's okay to fall, and that these tough moments help us cherish the good times.

I understand where your thoughts are at, because I've been there too.


Could you really improve and be something worth savin'?
Can you change and become someone worth saving?


See, I could pretend like I have all the answers
I could act like I know exactly what to do, but I don't.


But none of us do, it's the reason we battle
Nobody truly knows what the right answer is, and that's why life is a struggle.


Convincing yourself that you don't really matter's
Telling yourself that you're not important is damaging to your mental health.


Like feeding a cancer and letting it travel

The unthinkable and cancel our trips?
What if we stopped following our negative thoughts and started living life on our own terms?


What's achievable depends on the risk

Everybody falls sometimes
Everyone goes through tough times at some point.


Just remember that that's alright
It's okay to experience struggles and setbacks.


It's the rainy days that give us love for the sun
We appreciate good times more when we've gone through tough times.


And if it isn't, I guess I'll be fine believing it does, oh yeah
Even if life doesn't get better, it's important to believe that it will.


It's the lows in life that make you cherish the highs
Experiencing tough times makes us appreciate good times more.


And if isn't, I guess I'll be fine believing a lie, ayy
Even if it's not true, believing in hope and better times can give us strength.
