[Verse 1]
When I was a kid, I'd fly around
And Peter would mention
Don't be afraid to die
'Cause "to die would be an awfully big adventure"
One day I stopped believin'
Now my friends say they're so bored of me
I used to be a real boy, with real plans, but now I'm just reality TV
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to be your knight in shining armor
And I'd rescue you from hell
Lately I stare into the mirror
And I say to myself...
[Chorus]
I've spent too many nights watching “How I Met Your Mother” alone
Now I'm searching for my yellow umbrella
Hoping I'll take her home
Maybe I just wanna be legendary...
Yeah we all just wanna be legendary...
Oh
[Verse 2]
I'm done chasing actresses
I'm full of love, and they're all full of sh**
And now I'm stumbling out the bar
One more fame-monster story, I'll be sick
One day I stopped believing
And all at once the magic had died
I just need to accept friends grow up, and lovers will lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I used to be James Dean
Now it's celebrity rehab hell
I swear that I could be amazing
I just need a little help
[Chorus]
I've spent too many nights watching “How I Met Your Mother” alone
Now I'm searching for my yellow umbrella
Hoping I'll take her home
Maybe I just wanna be legendary...
Yeah we all just wanna be legendary...
Oh
[Bridge]
Da-da-da-ra-ra-ra-ra
Da-da-da-ra-ra-ra-ra
Da-da-da-ra-ra-ra-ra
Da-da-da-ra-ra-ra-ra
Da-da-da-ra-ra-ra-ra
[Pre-Chorus]
Used to be your knight in shining armor
And I'd rescue you from hell
I swear that I could be amazing
I just need a little help
I was your knight in shining armor
And I'd rescue you from hell
I swear that I could be amazing
[Chorus]
I've spent too many nights watching “How I Met Your Mother” alone
Now I'm searching for my yellow umbrella
Hoping I'll take her home
Maybe I just wanna be legendary...
Yeah we all wanna be legendary to somebody
Yeah to somebody
Oh, no
