Does anyone besides me find it a bit strange that the lyrics in Lana Del Rey's version seem intentionally changed from the original?

She sings the second line in the song as, "that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam."

That just doesn't make sense to me.

On her second time through, she reverts back to the original lyric, "the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam", except that she again changes 'the' to 'that'.

Part of my problem with this is that the change seems thoughtless and unneccesary. Additionally, the logic of the altered phrase doesn't make sense: a gleam can be a familiar gleam, but I don't see how a 'look' can also be a 'gleam'.

I tend to over-analyze such things, but I just thought I'm mention it.
