Lyrics of
Cosmic Love

Cosmic Love was inspired by the intense feelings Florence Welch experienced after the end of a relationship. She describes feeling as though she had lost something cosmic and profound with the breakup, something that was both a source of light and darkness for her. The track reflects Welchs struggle to find clarity and enlightenment after this dark period, using celestial metaphors to articulate her pain and redemption.

A falling star, fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them
And now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
(Oooh-ooohing)
(Oooh-ooohing)

I took the stars from my eyes
And then made a map
And knew that somehow I could
Find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating
You were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
(Oooh-ooohing)
(Oooh-ooohing)
