This falls into the "love song" / "heroin song" category. He's falling in love, but it's like an addiction and he's afraid--hence the heroin imagery ("needle", "we feel it move through our skin", "it's a sickness".)
Don't get me wrong--it's a sublimely beautiful song. But definitely about heroin.
By the way, the sound and the concept are similar to the ending of Spiritualized's "Cop Shoot Cop" and "Spread Your Wings."
