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
'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 here to 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 somethin', an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely a sample
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
'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 here to 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 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
Show me how to fight for now (please show me, baby)
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to 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 [10x]
Now 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
You are, you are the love of my life [8x]
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 [16x]
MEANING OF SONG
The video opens with a dedication to "William and Sadie," JT's . The two were reportedly married for 63 years, up until William's death last year. Conveniently, the music video appears to tell the story of an old widow.
After the dedication, we watch the relationship blossom between two young retro lovers, who apparently meet for the first time around a pool table. They're happy at first, but the video also cuts to an image of the woman with a tear-streaked face beside her sleeping husband. It flashes forward to the future, with the couple old, gray, and copying each other's every move. Hence, they're "mirrors" of each other.
The video is 08:21 in length, but because it has the feel of a short film and the song itself is so catchy, you don't even realize nearly ten minutes have passed by the time the clip is over. Justin Timberlake himself doesn't have a large presence in the video, which tells me he's more invested in telling this incredible love story than creating a viral music video.
The best part of the video is that it shows the long relationship at its best and absolute worst. Someone can still be your other half, but that doesn't mean you'll be happy or in a good place all the time. At the very end, the elderly woman reluctantly takes off her wedding ring, seemingly because her husband has passed away. JT catches it, and I can only hope that means he's looking out for his grandmother right now.
With its montage of the couple throughout the years, the video shows how quickly life flies by, and if you haven't found your mirror yet, you may feel a little sad or left out when watching this (this guy!). Either way, it's a must-see, not to mention the only music video that can get away with this kind of length in today's low-attention span internet world.
