From the recording Love Is an Avocado
🥑 Track Notes – "Love is an Avocado"
Love can be soft, strange, and oddly addictive—just like an avocado.
It seems simple on the outside, but it’s rich and full of unexpected layers.
This playful K-pop-style song captures the bittersweet charm of love with a wink and a smile.
I wrote it while watching a pile of Costco avocados ripen too quickly,
checking on them every day—only to toss them out because I missed the perfect moment.
It reminded me of past loves that never quite worked out…
not because the feelings weren’t real, but because the timing just wasn’t right.
This song is for anyone who once was someone’s avocado,
and for all the love stories that ripened just a little too late.
Lyrics
사랑은 진정, 타이밍
덜 익은 마음, 서툰 고백
그때는 몰랐지
Love is truly, all about timing
An unripe heart, a clumsy confession
Back then, I didn’t know
하루만 더 기다려
모레쯤엔 괜찮겠지
언젠가는, 언젠가는
Waited just one more day
Maybe it’ll soften tomorrow
Maybe… someday
But the softness came with silence
And the sweetness turned to grey
부드러움은 조용히 왔고
달콤함은 썩어갔지
Love is an avocado
익지도, 버리지도 못한
그 애매한 틈에서
우린 멈춰섰지
Love is an avocado
Too soon, too late
In that in-between
We froze
하루만 더
하루만 더
하루만 아보카도
하루만 더
하루만 더
오오오
어쩌면, 처음부터
우린 맞지 않았는지도
But maybe from the start
We weren’t meant to bloom
Maybe…
We just wanted to
사랑은 타이밍
사랑은 아보카도
Love is timing
Love is an avocado
사랑은 타이밍
사랑은 아보카도
Love is timing
Love is an avocado
사랑은—
그 타이밍
그 아보카도
Love is still timing
just an avocado
