Freightful Feelings

I can't tell what it is Why is he so quiet? I can't see what it is Is there something that he's hiding? It's not the silence That throws me off I've just had this sense When he quickly coughed And what's with her? Her eyes constantly moving And her mouth seems to murmur Her appearance isn't soothing It's not the restlessness That makes me wonder I just felt cautious When I first saw her And I have this horrible dread That they have something planned What's going on in their head? Should I make a stand? No, that could make it worse I'll just keep an eye on them So I don't end up in a hearse When they pull out a weapon So I stay and watch them closely My eyes scan their every inch And I can't tell when it will be But every movement makes me flinch Wait! What's that now? He's checking the time I think they're ready to prowl To commit this crime And the girl too Straightens herself up What am I to do? Get off at the next stop? So I ready myself for the train Eyes still on the lookout And they seem to do the same But to get off and go I doubt So as the doors part I dash out past him and her With fear beating in my heart I turn back just to be sure Ohno! They're off too! But.. they're going separate ways? It can't be true... I'm in a daze.. And now an officer Asks me if I'm alright And all I do is murmur With all of my might "No sir, I'm not" I'm too paranoid in the mind I'm not sure what I thought... I need to relax and unwind.
