“Budapest” by George Ezra is a song about a man’s unrequited love and his longing to be with a woman, despite the geographical distance between them.

Did you know?

The song’s lyrics convey a sense of yearning and distance, both literally and metaphorically.

The protagonist expresses his desire to be with the woman, even if it means traveling to “Budapest,” a city that symbolizes a faraway place.

The line “You might have to leave, I’ll understand” suggests that the woman may need to leave, but the protagonist is willing to wait and endure the separation.

The repeated phrase “But you know I would love to see Budapest with you” emphasizes his commitment and longing.

The song’s folk pop style and Ezra’s distinctive voice further enhance the emotional depth of the narrative, making it a poignant exploration of love and distance.
