Lyrics

Legendary

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Da da ra ra

Da da da ra ra ra ra

(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
