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

I used to be your knight in shining armor, and I’d rescue you from [bad word] Lately I stare into the mirror, and I say to myself,

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

I’m done chasing actresses, I’m full of love, and they’re all full of [bad word] 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

Oh, I used to be James Dean, now it’s celebrity rehab [bad word] I swear that I could be amazing, I just need a little help

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

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

(Used to be your knight in shining armor, and I’d rescue you from [bad word] 
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 [bad word] I swear that I could be amazing

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.
