I've got a picture of them outside their college dorm
I possess a photograph of the couple when they were in college and staying outside of their dorm.

In clothes and hair they'd rather forget they'd ever worn

Things may come and things may go

The same shade as his baby blue tuxedo

'Cause things may come and things may go

And though some things change
