[Verse 1]
We were the lucky few
A luck we soon outgrew
And now instead we drift again
How I miss Sarajevo
Oh, we were lost at sea
To pause for thought, then we
Slip beneath the foam
And fall down to the seabed

[Chorus 1]
Good times die young
For the faraway kids on the run
Nowhere to hide
The faraway kids, the faraway kids

[Verse 2]
At night, my soul sets sail
In minute detail
When I wake, I cry
For I've lost Sarajevo
And oh, the charges lacked all proof
And failed to light the fuse
For the Little Brutes
But I forsook Sarajevo
[Chorus 1]
Good times die young
For the faraway kids on the run
Nowhere to hide
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)
Good times die young
For the faraway kids on the run (Faraway kids on the run)
Nowhere to hide
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)

[Bridge]
Faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)

[Chorus 2]
I can't outrun
The terrible things I have done (Terrible things I have done)
I can't outrun
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)
[Verse 3]
We, we were the lucky few
A luck we soon outgrew
And now instead we drift again
How I miss Sarajevo
Drift again, I miss Sarajevo

[Outro]
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)
(Faraway ki-i-ids, faraway kids)
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)
(Faraway kids, faraway kids)
(Faraway kids, faraway kids) The faraway kids, yeah
