“Cosmic Love” has an ethereal yet somber sound, connoting a seemingly light-hearted approach to a melancholy subject. Welch told The Sunday Times that the song illustrates how being in love means “you give yourself up to the dark, to being blind.”

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
I took the stars from my eyes and then I 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
[Chorus]
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 stars), the moon (The moon)
They have all been blown out
You left me in the dark (You left me in the dark)
No dawn, no day
I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart (In the shadow of your)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Speaking to DIY Magazine, Florence explains:
I was the most hungover I’ve ever been- lying on the floor of the studio trying to create a weird sort of piano opus. It was so complicated and rubbish, but I found these two notes [she sings them – ‘ba-bum’, ‘ba-bum’] and then within half an hour, I did...
