I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I agree with FeyTH.
She loves the person she's singing to, but she keeps on making sarcastic jokes to distance herself. She's scared, afterall.
The things she talks about she doesn't care. The money, the big house, all of that.
The song is called "Distractions" because she's trying to distract herself from the scary thought of commitment. That's why, every so often, she reassures him saying "I love you, I do. I only make jokes to distract myself from the truth". As a way to explain herself.
