I first heard this song at work a few months ago and I liked it right away. I was surprised to learn that it came out 10 years ago. The song is so earnest and catchy and when I realized what he was saying, I really fell in love with it. Why? Because it reminds me of you, babe! In the song, Ezra sings about his many worldly possessions and how he'd give them all up for his girl, but he is actually speaking metaphorically, because he doesn't have any such possessions. His point is that he is aware that fine wordly posessions are there to be had, but he is not interested in them, as she is enough. That is how I feel! My worldly posessions are few (a few decent watches, a couple cool vintage four-wheel-drive trucks and...that'sabout it), but I am far more obsessessed with my time and future with you than I am interested in owning things. Well, a house would be nice, but truly if I had to choose between 1. owning a house, but never seeing you again or 2. renting a house forever, but getting to spend days upon weeks with you until the very end, I'd gladly choose option two.
My house in Budapest
My, my hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
You
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
My acres of a land
That I've 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
Ooh, I'd leave it all
And 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, I'll up and run
Oh, to you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
Oh, for you
Ooh, oh
Ooh, I'd leave it all
And give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
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'll lose so much
If you take my hand
But, for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd lose it all
Oh, for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd lose it all
And 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, my hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
You
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
Oh, for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
