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 hell 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 shit 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 hell 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
(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
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.
