My thought exactly but isn't the common center still inside the sun?

Yes, but they still both orbit the black hole in the center of our galaxy

The urge to orbit a black hole is universal

The common centre is the galaxy they both ~~orbit~~ spiral around together.

Then, the galaxy moves around some other point along with other galaxies.
