I think it's a pure expression of the euphoria of young love. To me it evokes an image of a couple on a hot, summers day, just lazing around in each other's company while everyone else rushes about like headless chickens. The euphoria is such that even when the skies break and the rain comes in, their euphoria is strong enough to withhold it. And yes, maybe it has druggy connotations too, but I don't think you need to invoke that response.
And to Catroar: I agree with the lyric as listed, I think it's 'We're smiling as we're waking.' I imagine them dozing on a hot, languid day. It captures that mood perfectly - when you're half-in-reality and half-in-the-dreamword. A wonderful swoon of a song.
