[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 believing, now my friends say they're so bored of me
I used to be a real boy with real plans, 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**
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
[Post-Chorus]
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, oh
