[Verse 1]
Pulled up in the lobby, I’m warm and locked
First shot kissed the iron, felt my heart just stop
Second one came back like, nah, not today
I’m staring at the replay like, what can I say?
Boost got low, but I stayed on time
Little fake to the left, then I read that line
Clean little tap, thought it was mine
Then it rattled off high like it knew my sign
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m right there
So close
Hands on the wheel, I froze
One more touch
One more ride
Then it flies wide
[Chorus]
That damn post
That damn post
Hit it again
Then I missed the most
That damn post
That damn post
Third time, same pain
Now I’m yelling “close” (so close)
[Verse 2]
Cut through mid, had the angle sold
I saw net in my head, I was feeling bold
Front-flip clean and I sent that shot
But the frame said “no,” and the whole room stopped
Teammate said “man, just one more try”
I said “watch this,” then I lined up right
Barely touched, and it spun on out
I could’ve sworn that ball had a grudge in it now
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m right there
So close
Hands on the wheel, I froze
One more touch
One more ride
Then it flies wide
[Chorus]
That damn post
That damn post
Hit it again
Then I missed the most
That damn post
That damn post
Third time, same pain
Now I’m yelling “close” (so close)
[Bridge]
Okay, breathe
Reset the frame
New kickoff, new shot
New run, same game
I know the bounce
I know the break
Next one goes in
No more mistake
[Final Chorus]
That damn post
That damn post
Hit it again
Then I missed the most
That damn post
That damn post
Third time, same pain
Now I’m yelling “close” (so close)
That damn post
That damn post
Next one’s mine
I’m taking that goal (let’s go)
