Lyrics of 'Legendary' by The Summer Set

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
