I'm going to disagree with most people here but I don't think it's about a couple having problems with each other. I think it's about a couple who doesn't have much money and can't afford many things or to go out for dinners, but they have good love and sex lives with each other that keeps them going.
They both work dead-end jobs, probably for minimum wage for a company that exploits them (kept awake dreaming someone else's dream). They're used to hard lives (compromise, that's nothing new to you) and are okay for the time being as long as they have each other. I think the "no sheets" line is actually suggesting sex, meaning that the bed is dishevelled after their night. Now they're watching the sun come up and holding each other before they get ready for work.
However, electrical storms happen when it's been warm and humid for a while, which I think is a metaphor for their financial situation. They're getting by, but things can't continue like this forever. They need the "rain" to wash away their "bad luck" financially. Even though they have financial challenges, their love still keeps them going through them.
