Staring at this white wall, my mind is a blank, no feelings at all, I can’t think straight. Time slows down, memories fade away. Where did she go? Where did she go? I’m still searching, can’t remember why. Who am I? What is this place? It feels so cold… Was it always this way? Where did she go? Where did she go? Everything is spinning, My eyes can’t see, I can’t tell what’s real, Why is it only me? Aaah aaah oooh Aaah aaah oooh Everything hurts It’s my reality Sitting here alone For all eternity Where did she go? Where did she go? Why did she go? Why did she go? Aaah aaah oooh Aaah aaah oooh I let her go… I let her go…

Every night I dream of you, I wake up in the morning, Wondering what could have been. For months all I’ve wanted, Was to tell you the truth, Please listen to me speak. I can’t eat or sleep, I’m lost without your love, I need to see your face, Or share one embrace. I am a wandering man, I drift from place to place, Never able to stay. I tried to plant a stake, But in this storm was swept away, To some faraway bay. I’m feeling lost in space, But I’m really underwater, My roots have come undone, And it’s time to float away. I made one mistake, It’ll forever haunt me, Honesty is my curse. I laid myself bare, Then you brushed me away, Now only a shell remains. Please help me find some peace, I can’t ignore this pain, Just for one moment, Before I finally disappear.

Another town, another day, Where do I belong? Camps of sorrow, fields of hope, Still trying to find a place to stay. Trees roll past me on the road, I’m climbing the mountain of my life. How do I get back home? How many miles must I go? Lava beds on the horizon, Sea spray on the coast. Storm clouds follow behind me, It’s freezing cold outside. I’m still out on my own, Where can I go from here? How do I get back home? How many miles must I go? Like an eagle I keep on flying, While I’m riding through Idaho. Wild deer and buffalo, There’s life everywhere. The sun dies leaving darkness, I need a refuge for the night. How do I get back home? How many miles must I go? The bedrock runs deep in these canyons, The golden trees are no more. This harsh wind blows me away, The hot air turns to smoke. I don’t think I’m gonna make it, The desert is swallowing my soul. I’m taking control, I’ll find my way home.

Let’s flashback to that first date, I was nervous so I brought you a book to read . I wore my favorite tie, You wore that gorgeous red dress . You grabbed my hand, and I looked deeply into your eyes for the first time. Unsuccessfully, I tried convincing you to dance with me. Don’t let me forget, It was better than The Notebook. Watercolors in that gallery, Your eyebrows raised when I touched your knee. Like on prom day, Burgers and milkshakes in the corvette diner. That beautiful moment, When we shared our first kiss in a photo booth. We walked across the promenade, And I caught you before you fell. Never let me forget, It was better than The Notebook. Finally, A cop told us it was time to leave. In the backseat of my car, You told me stories of your childhood. You took me inside, ‘Cause we couldn’t bring ourselves to say goodbye. We shared one last embrace, You held me tight, before you shut the door. If only that night could never end, It was better than The Notebook.

I keep walking forward, Even though I’m all alone. There’s no use in lookin’ back, ‘Cause there’s nothing for me there. Still, I get the temptation. Remembering the good times we had. It’s so lonely without you girl. How did it end so bad? Gotta keep movin’, Gotta keep movin’, Pretty mama, Look what you did to me… Darkness covers My eyes. This road is dangerous, Evil people everywhere. I remember, When she led the way. I felt so safe then, Nothing worried me. Gotta keep movin’, Gotta keep movin’, Pretty mama, Look what you did to me… I’m so lost without you, Why did you have to go? Gotta keep movin’, Gotta keep movin’, Pretty mama, Look what you did to me…

about

"Walking Forward" is Isaac Cabrera's debut EP. This EP is very strictly rock music, but explores different sub-genres such as: alternative, grunge, hard rock, blues, and acoustic rock. Isaac was inspired to begin writing this EP after listening to Lord Huron's "The Night We Met." In this short collection of 5 songs, Isaac was trying to establish a safe mental space for himself at the same time as he sought to understand the meaning of the emotions love, loneliness, and depression. This EP was Isaac's first public release of original recordings. These songs were recorded in his apartment in San Diego, CA and his parents former home in Riverside, CA. Always a night owl, Isaac stayed up all night and finished the EP on New Year's Eve 2018.

*Release Notes: Although an Epiphone Les Paul is featured heavily on the cover art, this guitar was only used in the song "Better Than the Notebook". For the rest of the EP Isaac actually used a custom guitar built by his friend Kyle.
