The EP’s title track, "Blue Collar Love", is a radio ready pop song and a whimsically melodic expression of the way love breaks unrealistic expectations. Love is not always pretty, love is never a fantasy. Karina explains, "Things that you love can be torturous. But it’s torture you're ok with dealing with. Even with its simplicity, ‘blue collar love’ is not a phrase you hear everyday. It’s not fooling you or sugarcoating love. A lot of songs talk about either falling in love or falling out of love. This song embraces both. That doesn’t happen often.”
lyrics
Blue Collar Love
I rolled up my sleeves today
Worked all night just to get through the day
I’ll get to come home to you
We’ll fight like old times about something new
Cuz it’s blue collar love
Which ain’t ever been easy
Yeah it’s blue collar love
With my baby
Morning will come, we’ll brush it off
We’ll kick out the screams, lock up the scoff
Love can slam a lot of doors
But in the end, you’re mine
I’m always yours
Cuz it’s blue collar love
Which ain’t ever been easy
Yeah it’s blue collar love
With my baby
(mmm yeah)
Believe me when I say I’ll try
To give you all the moon and sky
Just pull me tight to you (blue collar love)
Whisper about love in a way that’s new (blue collar love)
(Blue collar love)
Cuz it’s blue collar love
Which ain’t ever been easy
Yeah it’s blue collar love
With my baby
(x2)
Cuz it’s blue collar love
With my baby
