"Kind of Girl"

When I listened to Begin Here a couple days ago, I also noticed something in "Kind of Girl," which is included as a bonus track.  The three syllables of "ev'rything" in the line "You think you've got everything" are all sung to different pitches (E D B), musically giving a sense of breadth.  The three syllables of "anyone" in the lines "Don't you understand that she / Runs away with anyone who happens / In her sight" are also sung to different pitches (also E D B), for a similar effect.
