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

Line by Line Meaning
Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
You are truly remarkable, your radiance reminds me of a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
I cannot help but see my own reflection in you, as if you're in my very heart
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
When you feel isolated and my presence becomes difficult to recognize
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
Just remember that I will always be there, even if I am not immediately visible
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
When we are together, with our souls intertwined
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
I can assure you that we are capable of experiencing anything together
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
Reach out to me, I am here waiting to help, as if we are separated by a pane of glass
You just gotta be strong
All you need to do is remain steadfast and determined
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I cannot bear the thought of losing you at this moment
I'm looking right at the other half of me
You complete me, and I see my own reflection in you
The vacancy that sat in my heart
The emptiness that lived in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Is now filled by you
Show me how to fight for now
Teach me how to persevere in the present moment
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
And I will tell you, my love, that it was not difficult to realize that you are the one
Coming back into you once I figured it out
Once I understood that you are my other half, I came back to you
You were right here all along
You have been with me, right by my side, for all this time
It's like you're my mirror
You are like a mirror to me
My mirror staring back at me
As if reflecting my very image
I couldn't get any bigger
I couldn't feel any more complete and fulfilled
With anyone else beside of me
With anyone else standing beside me
And now it's clear as this promise
It is evident, just like a promise
That we're making two reflections into one
That we are becoming one, like two reflections in a mirror
Yesterday is history
The past is forever gone
Tomorrow's a mystery
The future is yet to be determined
I can see you looking back at me
I can see you, my love, staring back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Stay focused on me, do not falter
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
You are my mirror image, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are my reflection, you are present in everything I do
You are you are the love of my life
You are undoubtedly and unequivocally the love of my life
Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
You, my love, are the inspiration behind this heartfelt melody
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
I only want to see you smile, now that you, my love, have me
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
I bid farewell to my past self, as it is already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
I am beyond eager to bring you home with me

Aren't you somethin' to admire?
