The music (although not all the lyrics) were indeed written in a hotel room in L.A. Self-explanatory, I think.

lyrics

Everyday I do my best, to go my way and never rest,
‘Cause when I do, I think of you, and what I’d do at your request.
Baby are you satisfied, with those who hurt you, those who lied?
Do you know just where you are, and will you ever find your star?

Don’t have to look around, don’t you know where I’ll be found?
I’m nowhere, if I’m not there, in you heart.

I look around, I hope to see, something to take my thoughts off me,
But hiding there on every shelf, it’s in myself, still I can’t agree.
Baby can you find the time, to listen to my soul’s last rhyme?
Everyday I do my best, oh please won’t you listen to a last request?

Don’t spend your time looking everywhere, don’t you know that I’ll still care?
I’m everywhere, I want to be there in your heart.

I know I lost you once before,
would everything be worth it for a whole lot more?
Can we please just make a start,
Can you find me in your heart?

This is Fiske & Herrera, the duo who between them produced my album, sang harmony, and played many instruments. If you don't love what they do, you may be a soulless robot. Just sayin'. Ari Jacobson
