"The fastest man in the world, fast asleep at the wheel"
---I have two ideas for what this could mean:
I think the line's meaning is that he's not just your average person, but even someone who is a talented/exceptional person can still fall asleep at the wheel.
This could refer to either:
The singer, meaning he was dating the girl and became complacent and lost control (or crashed), and he lost her because she broke up with him and ended up with someone else
OR
The girl's boyfriend, meaning that the singer can tell that the new boyfriend may be better on the surface than he is (i.e., some combination of being better looking, more talented, higher status, etc.), but he's just coasting through the relationship with the girl who means the world to the singer.
"I can still find the smell, on my clothes and skin"
---Definitely refers to the girl's smell. Probably means the singer was with her at one point before the current boyfriend.
My favorite lines are the most powerful lines where the singer turns the chorus around the last time through with the emotional
"You make me high!
You make me real!
You make me cry!
Now you know the way I feel
Love is all around you,
your universe is full
But in my world,
there is only you"
It's all about loving someone with every piece of your heart, and this song captures that feeling so perfectly.
An interesting play on words with the title... There are different times where the song says the words "my world" as in "but in my world, there is only you"....so it seems apparent that that is where the title comes from. He's talking about his world, meaning for his life there is only her. But the song title "My World" could double to mean that the girl about whom he is singing is actually "His World", as if I were to say "This girl is my world."
Not sure about the title thing, but I always found that interesting. Amazing song with true feeling. I still don't understand how this song never became bigger than it is, because it's so relatable and the music is so good.
Amazing song. One of my all time favorites.
