Analysis of Stand By Me



Stand by me ma, see we fly, higher than the trees are
And as long as you stay by I like letters on a keyboard
Then we can stay afloat, let our love be where our wings are
You see, I'm already strong, but you add on that E R
As long as your around me, the pressure I sustain it
With more trails the more the care just keeps gaining
Stainless steel hearts cause still our love remains stainless
When she gone she be missing me, like she ain't even aiming
I know that seem dangerous, but thats the way we like it see
cause she paralyzed my left side, i only feel she's right for me
and it is so unlikely she will find another one like me
and me, like her, that's why we splurg
she spend her days and nights with me
Yep, we love to spend it all, like we ballin or somethin
and she stay by my side to keep me from fallin and stumblin
so when it comes to love I wasn' fallin I jumped in
cause you stand by me like 'fume' minus the 'f' on the front end
