lyrics

We toddle off to distant lands, making maps on tracing paper
Holding all your love inside our stitching
We make new friends and fight our battles softly
The light inside our hearts will guide us home to you
And we'll whisper small adventures in your dreams
In your dreams

It's dangerous to be yourself in the world outside
So take this darling wrapped around your heart
If just a look and a funny voice can save you
Then I'm so grateful for our small adventures

And every conversation can be improved
By a healthy dose of silliness and care
And every car trip is an opportunity
For our loves to go on small adventures

We toddle off to distant lands, making maps on tracing paper
Holding all your love inside our stitching
We make new friends and fight our battles softly
The light inside our hearts will guide us home to you
And we'll whisper small adventures in your dreams
In your dreams

Defend us from our nightmares and insecurities
With cotton fluff and a never-changing smile
Let every sadness disappear inside this room
So we are free to live your small adventures

And every time we part
You're there to bridge the distance
This lifeline that we share
This tin-can telephone keeping us whole

We toddle off to distant lands, making maps on tracing paper
Holding all your love inside our stitching
We make new friends and fight our battles softly
The light inside our hearts will guide us home to you
And we'll whisper small adventures in your dreams
In your dreams
