[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
Can't do it alone, can't do it alone
I'm ready to run through the heat of the sun
Can't do it alone, can't do it alone
I'm ready to fall, so tired of it all
Down deep in a hole, can't do it alone
I'm ready to climb this mountain inside
Impossible heights
[Chorus 1]
Said you'd always be my white blood
Circulate the right love
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
Said you'd always be my white blood
Elevate my soul above
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
Here with me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm ready to go, I’m ready to go
Can't do it alone, can’t do it alone
I’m ready to run through the heat of the sun
Can’t do it alone, can't do it alone
I’m ready to hope, swing me out of the low
Wide awake in the glow, can't do it alone
I’m ready to fly, uncover the light
Impossible heights
[Chorus]
Said you'd always be my white blood
Circulate the right love
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
Said you'd always be my white blood
Elevate my soul above
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
I need you right here with me
Here with me
[Instrumental]
(Whoa)
(Woo-oa)
(Woo-oo)
[Chorus 3]
Said you'd always be my white blood
Circulate the right love
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
Said you'd always be my white blood
Elevate my soul above
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
I need you right here with me

White blood refers to cells of the immune system that protect the body from harmful pathogens. This also relates to the role a friend plays to one who is suffering.
This song is about a person in pain, who is pleading for help from their friends. In a manner of speaking, some can loosely interpret this as a way of asking help from God.
