Justin Timberlake On His ‘Other Half’
Though he doesn’t come out and say Jessica’s name, he begins explaining “Mirrors” saying, “‘Mirrors’ is a love song to someone that you feel like is, you know, sort of your other half.” And we all know Jessica is Justin’s other half!
He continues to wax romantic, adding, “One of the most valuable things in a relationship is being able to constantly change and be individual, but look to the other side to the person that you’re with and and know that they’re changing as well individually, but somehow you two can mirror each other and be the other half of that world that you both create.” JT, what a lover!
The song’s chorus describes a man who is fighting to hold onto his relationship with a girl he believes to be the “the one.” That story matches up with Justin’s real life — in Mar. 2011, Justin and Jessica split briefly after dating for over four years. Thankfully, they reunited and were married on October 19, 2012.
Justin Timberlake Wants To Grow Old With Jessica Biel
At the beginning of the video for “Mirrors,” the song is dedicated to “William & Sadie” — JT’s grandparents who were married for over 60 years. We’re guessing he hopes Jessica continues to be his mirror and that they last just as long.
“I think a relationship, when it’s working, is constantly evolving because we as individuals evolve,” Justin concludes. “You want to know that the person you’re with is evolving with you.”
Justin Timberlake – “Mirrors” Lyrics
Check out Justin’s full lyrics for “Mirrors” below:
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 past I’m here 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 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
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Yesterday is history Tomorrow’s a mystery I can see you lookin’ back at me Keep your eyes on me Baby, keep your eyes on me
[Chorus 2x]
You are, you are the love of my life
Baby, you’re the inspiration of 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
