I love your grasp of grammar! Yes, also I found that line very peculiar. How could it be better said?
I used to find Stevie's writing to be a little frustrating because she sometimes composes words/phrases in such odd ways. But now I am more forgiving, accepting that her weird quirks are uniquely hers. I just wish she would use more descriptive words in certain places, For example, she uses the generic word "go" in some of her lyrics, when a another verb would add a little more impact/color.
Citing a line from No Questions Asked, she says "And you miss those arms that used to go around you." I always thought that was kind of weak, where as "wrap around you" or some other word of that nature would have given the line a little more "umph!"
