"Laugh, I Nearly Died" lyrics

Laugh, I Nearly Died

I've been travelling
But I don't know where
I've been missing you
But you just don't care

And I've been wandering
I've seen Greece and Rome
Lost in the wilderness
So far from home
Yeah, yeah

I've been to Africa
Looking for my soul
And I feel like an actor
Looking for a role

I've been in Arabia
I've seen a million stars
Been sipping champagne
On the boulevards, yes

I'm so sick and tired
Trying to turn the tide
Yeah
So I'll say my goodbye
Laugh, laugh
I nearly died

I've been down to India
But it froze my bones
I'm living for the city
But I'm all alone

I've been travelling
But I don't know where
I've been wandering
But I just don't care

I hate to be denied
How you hurt my pride
I feel pushed aside
But laugh
Laugh
Laugh
I nearly died

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's gonna be my guide
Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's gonna be my guide

Living in a fantasy
But it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness
Is way too hard

I've been wandering
Feeling all alone
I lost my direction
And I lost my home, well

I'm so sick and tired
Now I'm on the slide
Feeling so despised
When you laugh
Laugh
I almost died

Been travelling far and wide
Oh, yeah
Wondering who's going to be my guide

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide
I hurt my pride
Hurt my pride, hurt my pride
Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide
Been travelling, yeah

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide
Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide
Been travelling far and wide
