Can you help me with this sentence?
In the following sentence: "I come away with a different point of view" is the phrasal verb COME AWAY properly used at that? It sounds like it occur to me a new/different point of view? I read this sentence in the context of the song "a boy named Sue" from Johhny Cash.
