Center of the Universe
Axwell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The shadow of your smile
Under the open skies
As I close my eyes I can feel the wind arise

We're made of stardust
Our lives ahead of us
We'll ride the magic bus into the heart of love
I can taste it, taste the feeling
Of the blue skies, they're for real
And we're the center of the universe
Just you and I, and I, and I

The shadow of your smile
Under the open skies
As I close my eyes I can feel the wind arise

We're made of stardust
Our lives ahead of us
We'll ride the magic bus into the heart of love

I can taste it, taste the feeling
Of the blue skies, they're for real
And we're the center of the universe
Just you and I, and I, and I

I can taste it, taste the feeling
Of the blue skies, they're for real
And we're the center of the universe
Just you and I, and I, and I

I can taste it, taste the feeling




Of the blue skies, they're for real
And we're the center of the universe

Line by Line Meaning

The shadow of your smile
The subtle impressions of your facial expression hinting at your happiness


Under the open skies
In the vast, unobstructed space above us


As I close my eyes I can feel the wind arise
As I shut my eyes, I can perceive the breeze coming to life


We're made of stardust
As a species, our constituent atoms were born in the hearts of dying stars


Our lives ahead of us
We have yet to live the best parts of our lives


We'll ride the magic bus into the heart of love
We'll embark on a mystical journey that leads us to fall in love


I can taste it, taste the feeling
I can savor the sensation that it brings


Of the blue skies, they're for real
The blue hue of the skies is genuine


And we're the center of the universe
We occupy a position of utmost importance in the cosmos


Just you and I, and I, and I
Only the two of us, in this moment together

The shadow of your smile
Under the open skies
As I close my eyes
I can feel the wind arise

We're made of star dust
Our lives ahead of us
