on her older website Bjork mentioned that she wrote this song off the back of an article she read about when two people fall in love the body produces specific hormones that keep them attracted and addicted to each other, much like nature's way of helping them overcome their differences should that arise. However, these hormones wear off in most human after 1 to 2 years into the relationship and then whatever they built through nature's help they must work on keeping. So, in the song, her way of doing the work and keeping the relationship healthy is partly her morning meditation which helps her be happy and ready for the day and what the relationship may bring. she likes to put the effort. The part about her imagining what her body would sound like falling is not about suicide or self-harm, it's just part of her imaginative meditation. cheers :)
I predict a Radiohead like appreciation curve as he listens to more and more Bjork. Remember his first Radiohead reaction and where he ended up with them? The beginning of the curve is approaching the asymptote
