What is it called when one phrase can mean two things? For exaple this is a lyric from the song "Ho Ho Hopefully" by The Maine.
"She has a way of making things okay, when she's not around, I'm going crazy."
This can either mean "She has a way of making things okay when she's not around," or it can mean "When she's not around, I'm going crazy."
Thank you!
