Mirrors - Justin Timberlake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
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
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

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

Line by Line Meaning

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
You are truly remarkable because you radiate with the same luminosity as a mirror


And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
I cannot help but acknowledge that you have a profound impact on my emotions


If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
If you feel isolated and cannot see me clearly


Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
Understand that I will always be right there beside you


'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
With us being together and with an abundance of love


I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
We can overcome any hurdle that comes our way


Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
Place your hand on the glass, and I'll attempt to save and help you


You just gotta be strong
All you need to do is remain resolute and determined


'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I fear that you might leave my side forever


I'm looking right at the other half of me
You are an essential part of my being


The vacancy that sat in my heart
The emptiness that was in my heart before you


Is a space that now you hold
Now you are occupying that space


Show me how to fight for now
Teach me how to be brave and fight through our current struggles


And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Once I understood and got clarity, it was not difficult to come back to you


Coming back into you once I figured it out
I returned to your side once I gained a clear understanding


You were right here all along
You were near me all along without me realizing


It's like you're my mirror
You resemble a mirror


My mirror staring back at me
When I look at you, I see my reflection


I couldn't get any bigger
I could not develop any further and find a better companion than you


With anyone else beside of me
No one else beside me can match you or your role in my life


And now it's clear as this promise
It is now very clear to me


That we're making two reflections into one
Together, we unite as one and create a beautiful relationship


'Cause it's like you're my mirror
I see so much of my likeness in you


Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
You are one of a kind; there is nothing ordinary or standard about you


And I can't help but stare 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I cannot help but stare at you because I see honesty and sincerity in your eyes


Ooh I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
I require you in my life to be a better version of myself, and I adore that about you


And if I could, I would look at us all the time
If possible, I would gaze at us together eternally


Yesterday is history
The past is behind us and has already occurred


Tomorrow's a mystery
The future is unknown and cannot be predicted


I can see you looking back at me
I perceive you staring back at me


Keep your eyes on me
Focus your gaze on me


Baby, keep your eyes on me
Sweetheart, concentrate your sight on me


You are you are the love of my life
You are the love of my life, and there's no one else


Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
You have stimulated the creation of this valuable song


And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
I desire to see you radiate joy after enlightening me


So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
I bid farewell to my past self because it has vanished


And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
I am eager to take you to our home


Just to let you know, you are
Just to make it clear, you are


Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
Girl, you resemble my reflection, and that's all I observe


My reflection, in everything I do
You mirror me in everything I undertake


You're my reflection and all I see is you
You resemble my reflection, and that's all I perceive

Aren't you somethin' to admire
Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
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 tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' 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
Comin' 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 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 somethin', an original
Cause it doesn't seem really as simple
And I can't help but stare, cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
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 tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

I don't wanna lose you now

The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now

I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me

I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' 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

You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
