Mirrors

    Singer: 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’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

    ...

    Background:

    The song is an emotional eight-minute mid-tempo track that finds the singer salvaging a perfect union that somehow went sour. We’d prefer to see the singer innovating and moving forward instead of back, but it’s okay because the song relies on his familiar handclap-style beats and layers of synths and vocals, which instantly embed their way into your brain.
