FMy house in Budapest, my, my hidden treasure chest
FGolden grand piano, my beautiful castillo

FIt may be hard for you to stop and believe
But for Bbyou, you, I'd leave it Fall
Oh, for Bbyou, you, I'd leave it Fall

The story behind the song

"Budapest" is a love song, notably one of the first the artist ever wrote, using just the first three guitar chords he learned. Despite its title, the lyrics aren't actually about the Hungarian capital, as the singer had never been there at the time of writing. Instead, the song came about after he missed a train to Budapest due to being hungover while in Malmö, Sweden. It's a sweet, simple expression of devotion, offering up treasures and experiences for a loved one. At its heart, it plays like a heartfelt pledge of all one has to offer.
