Mirrors
53. 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

And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
I can't help but notice that you have left a lasting impression on my heart
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
If you ever feel solitary and are unable to locate me due to the intense glare
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
Just know that I'll be there, parallel to you, on the other side

The hollow space that occupied my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Is now held by you

Teach me how to fight for what I have at the moment

Returning to your side as soon as I figured out the solution

You were here with me all along
It's like you're my mirror
You resemble my reflection in a mirror
My mirror staring back at me
My own reflection staring right back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
I couldn't feel more complete
With anyone else beside of me
If anybody else were with me

Ooh I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
I can never alter myself without you, you reflect a part of me, and I love that aspect about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
If it were possible, I'd gaze at us all the time
Yesterday is history
Yesterday belongs to the past
Tomorrow's a mystery
Tomorrow is a mystery
I can see you looking back at me
I can see you gazing back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Look at me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
Darling, focus on me
You are you are the love of my life
You, my dear, are the love of my life
Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
Now you're the muse behind this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
And I wish to see you beam since you have influenced me
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
So, I bid farewell to my past self; it's already left me
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait to get you home
Just to let know, you are
Just to make you aware, you are
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
Girl, you are my reflection; all I can see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are my reflection in everything I ever do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
You are my reflection, and all I can see is you
