Lyrics of
Budapest

George Ezras Budapest was inspired by a trip he never made to the city of Budapest. During an inter-railing trip across Europe, Ezra missed the train to the Hungarian capital after staying in bed too late due to drinking too much. The songs lyrics reflect a feeling of regret mixed with the notion of leaving everything for someone special.

My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
You, ooh, you, ooh
I'd leave it all

My acres of a land,
I have achieved
It may be hard for you to
stop and believe
But for you, ooh, you, ooh
I’d Leave it all
Oh, for you, ooh, you,
I'd leave it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My many artifacts
The list goes on
If you just say the words
I’ll up and run
Oh, to you, You
I’d leave it all
Oh, to you, You
I’d leave it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My friends and family They,
don’t understand
They fear they’d lose so much If,
you took my hand
But, for you you
I’d lose it all
But, for you you
I’d lose it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest,
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
For you, You
I’d leave it all
For you, You
I’d leave it all
