Story Behind The Song
The Sunshine Skyway is a giant, arching bridge over Tampa Bay - it can be intimidating to even drive over it. The Florida coast is as flat as Kansas and there's not a lot of skyscrapers, so there are call boxes installed at the top of this thing for suicide jumpers, in case they want to reconsider. This is another way to let one know she is loved.
Song Description
The "shower" is one of the standard rain explosions that pound the coast - there's a reason the hockey team is the Lightning - and it's the woman's bathroom shower, either way a warm feeling, the silver is the stars, or the endlessly flickering light points on the water, the same kind you get with your eyes closed very tight.

Lyrics
Some kind of instructions for how you set it on fire
Making a twisting motion on your finger where the ring would be
Are you summoning me?
Are you summoning me?
Bright light in the shower
Silver surrounds you
Hold on tight to the sound of your voice
Bright light in the shower
Silver surrounds you
Hold on tight to the sound of your voice
Bright light in the shower
Silver surrounds you
Hold on tight to the sound
And the water's only made of love
And the water's only made of love
Up on the skyway side
On the other end of the callbox
Bay all shines like diamonds
You are the light in the rain
You are the light in the rain
Bright light in the shower
Silver surrounds you
Hold on tight to the sound of your voice
Bright light in the shower
Silver surrounds you
Hold on tight to the sound of your voice
Bright light in the shower
Silver surrounds you
Hold on tight to the sound
And the water's only made of love
And the water's only made of love
