The song is a love song which tells the tale of Poppy being involved romantically with someone she does not really know much about and her wondering whether if this type of relationship is normal or not.

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
On a night like tonight, we see stars in the sky
And they die, big black holes, something's shapeshiftin' deep in your mind
Deep in your mind
Like the tides to the moon, yeah, I'm risin' to you
In the church of your room, what is gone is gone forever this time
Is gone forever this time

[Pre-Chorus]
You can tell me that it's human nature
To be too interlaced with danger
Were you always a stranger?
Was ours always a strange love?

[Chorus]
At the night's edge, you know that I'll follow
Anywhere your blood flows red, I'll make you just like me
And you let it linger, linger, linger
At the night's edge, you know that I'll follow
Anywhere your blood flows red, I'll show you who to be
And you let it linger, linger, linger
Over me

[Verse 2]
In the whites of your eyes, I can see my next life
Smell the lilies at night, tell me what you will remember me by
I don't care if you lie

[Pre-Chorus]
You can tell me that it's human nature
To be too interlaced with danger
Were you always a stranger?
Was ours always a strange love?

[Chorus]
At the night's edge, you know that I'll follow
Anywhere your blood flows red, I'll make you just like me
And you let it linger, linger, linger
At the night's edge, you know that I'll follow
Anywhere your blood flows red, I'll make you just like me
And you let it linger, linger, linger
At the night's edge, you know that I'll follow
Anywhere your blood flows red, I'll show you who to be
And you let it linger, linger, linger
Over me
