Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a story of our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers and the devil made her features
Threw up her hands when my mom said our names
Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims
[Verse 2]
But it's over and done with, it's over and done with
It's over and done with, it's over and done with
It's over and done with, it's over, it's over
It's over and done with, baby, hear, let me hear ya
[Verse 3]
This is a story of losin' my virginity
I held my breath and the fey held the trinity
People, I'm makin' no claims to no mystery
Sometimes I feel like my sex life's all history
[Verse 4]
It's over and done with, it's over and done with
It's over and done with, it's over and done with
It's over and done with, it's over, it's over
It's over and done with, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
I'm not sayin' these events didn't touch our lives in any way
But, ah, they didn't make the impression that some people say
[Verse 6]
This is a story of watchin' a man dyin'
The subject's unpopular but I don't feel like lyin'
When I think of it now I acted like a sinner
I just washed my hands and I went for my dinner
That's it? You washed your hands and you walked off, yeah
[Verse 7]
It's over and done with, it's over and done with
It's over and done with, it's over and done with
It's over and done with, it's over, it's over
It's over and done with, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
It's over, it's over, it's over and done with
It's over, it's over, it's over and done with
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, yeah
Ah, oh, oh, whoa
