Mirrors
● Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
Ooh I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you looking back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
I am in awe of you, your brilliance radiates much like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
I am deeply in love with you, and your image is etched in my heart
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Whenever you feel isolated, and I'm hard to locate amidst the chaos,
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
Remember that I'm always by your side, metaphorically, on the other end
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
With our hands intertwined and our souls united,
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
We can conquer any challenge by remaining together and standing strong

Simply place your hand on any glass window, and I'll be on the other side trying to pull you over

You need to be brave and resilient

I don't want to lose you, my love.
I'm looking right at the other half of me
I am gazing at my better half, an extension of myself.
The vacancy that sat in my heart
The sense of emptiness and heartache I experienced in the past
Is a space that now you hold
You have filled that gap and brought contentment to my life.
Show me how to fight for now
Teach me how to remain strong in the present
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
It was easy to rediscover myself with your help and guidance
Coming back into you once I figured it out
After I figured out that you were always here, I returned to you without hesitation
You were right here all along
You have been present all throughout.
It's like you're my mirror
You reflect my love, my emotions, and my very identity
My mirror staring back at me
You are like a mirror image of my soul reflecting back to me
I couldn't get any bigger
I cannot imagine any growth or success without you by my side
With anyone else beside of me
No one else but you can complement and complete me
And now it's clear as this promise
It has become apparent to both of us, like a promise fulfilled,
That we're making two reflections into one
We have united and merged our two halves into one, much like reflections in a mirror
Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
Your originality shines bright and does not appear to be a mere assembly of parts
And I can't help but stare 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
Your eyes reflect honesty and truth, and it is impossible not to be captivated by their beauty
Ooh I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
I am who I am because of you, and you reflect my very essence. I love that about you.
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
If it were possible, I would look at us and take in every moment, all the time.
Yesterday is history
The past is incorrigible, and it has all but vanished.
Tomorrow's a mystery
The future is uncertain, and nobody knows what it holds
I can see you looking back at me
I see you looking back at me, reflecting my soul.
Keep your eyes on me
Pay attention to me, keep looking at me.
Baby, keep your eyes on me
My dear, don't take your gaze away from me.
You are you are the love of my life
You are the one true love of my existence
Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
You are the source, the inspiration behind this beautiful, soulful song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
I want you to smile, and I am delighted that I too can bring you joy.
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
I bid farewell to the old me, for it no longer exists. It is already gone.
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
I am extremely excited to take you home, to hold you tight in my arms.
Just to let you know, you are
Allow me to tell you that you are the most important thing in my life
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My love, you reflect my soul, and all I can see is you.
My reflection, in everything I do
In all of my actions, I see you just like a reflection
You're my reflection and all I see is you
You reflect everything I am, all that I feel, and all that I desire.
