[Verse 1]
Arriving home from the craziest day
And there's no meal that we think we'd want to make
The thought of leftovers makes my stomach feel sick
Need something good but that something isn't quick
[Pre-Chorus]
And you didn't wanna cook it home
'Cause we didn't think anything was remotely appetizing
Now we're realizing
That we probably should have made a plan
'Cause this week is halfway through
We know this budget's blown out
That's when we go and eat out
This restaurant's nice but we spend too much on food
How in the world does it cost this much for two?
But now if we plan for what's in store
We can save for so much more
And now we know
It's cheaper cooking at our home
[Chorus]
'Cause if you like the way it tastes so much
Then maybe we should budget more for food
But that's insane, let's save up for a house
A car and probably retirement too
[Verse 2]
And when we planned to have dinner with some friends
We had to choose to go out or eat in
But we know all our favorite restaurants aren't cheap
But I'm too tired to go buy groceries
[Pre-Chorus]
And you didn't wanna cook it home
'Cause we didn't think anything was remotely appetizing
Now we're realizing
That we probably should have made a plan
'Cause this week is halfway through
We know this budget's blown out
That's when we go eat out
This restaurant's nice but we spend too much on food
And how in the world does it cost this much for two?
But now if we plan for what's in store
We can save for so much more
And now we know
It's cheaper cooking at our home
[Chorus]
'Cause if you like the way it tastes so much
Then maybe we should budget more for food
But that's insane, let's save up for our kids
A dog and probably retirement too
[Verse 3]
For all the times that we packed a sack lunch
It worked so well and it just saved us so much
But now I woke up late and looking in the fridge
Should not eat out 'cause it's not budgeted
[Chorus]
'Cause if you like the way it tastes so much
Then maybe we should budget more for food
But that's insane, let's save up for that
IPhone 7, maybe a MacBook 2
'Cause if you like the way it tastes so much
Then maybe we should budget more for food
But that's insane, let's save up for lakefront cabin
And possibly a schooner too
