Mirrors
Justin Timberlake
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'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause 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
Oh, 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'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause 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, oh
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
Yesterday is history, oh
And tomorrow's a mystery, oh
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
'Cause 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
Oh, show me how to fight for now
(Show me, baby)
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
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

Yesterday is history, oh
Ontem é história, oh
And tomorrow's a mystery, oh
E amanhã é um mistério, oh
Justin parece estar citando a autora Alice Morse Earle: "O relógio está correndo. Aproveite ao máximo o dia de hoje. O tempo não espera ninguém. Ontem é história, amanhã é um mistério, hoje é uma dádiva - por isso que é chamado de presente". Estes versos são um lembrete de que o amor vive no agora, um doce sussurro que o passado é uma memória e o futuro, um segredo. Mas, no presente, na presença de quem se ama, cada momento é eterno, e cada segundo, uma preciosidade.

Just put your hand on the glass
Apenas ponha a sua mão no vidro
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
Estarei aqui tentando puxar você
Esse trecho faz alusão ao livro Alice Através do Espelho, de Lewis Carroll, em que um mundo paralelo que pode ser acessado por um espelho. Na trama, a protagonista, entediada e presa dentro de casa por causa da neve, resolve atravessar o espelho para visitar a sala que fica do outro lado dele. Lá, encontra um universo fantástico habitado por animais, flores e peças de xadrez falantes, e tem de superar vários obstáculos para se tornar uma rainha.

Lançada em 2013, Mirrors é, como Justin declarou em sua biografia, inspirada na esposa Jessica Biel. O clipe, por outro lado, é uma homenagem aos avós: “Eu aprendi sobre um amor duradouro com eles. Sei que é isso que eu tenho com a minha esposa”. Em outro trecho, disse, sobre Jessica: “Ela me mudou. Mudou a minha vida. Tudo isso está em Mirrors. Não nos detalhes, mas na música toda. É sobre a forma como a minha vida foi tocada pela Jess”.
