I guess I have a little more cynical interpretation than the rest of you: I think hes trying to find the line between intention and truth by purposefully blurring the two--the way the two (often polarities) function in reality.
Though his intentions are marked by romantic inclinations, the truth constantly blurs into the lines of intention--both in his obvious inability to act on his promises (I will keep the bank from you--he obviously can't actually do this) and then the fact that his romantic yearnings and inclinations are undermined by this too. Also, many of his promises are contradicted in later lines--those referring to money especially (someone else will take the money).
Also, I think the summer and "what if all this was true" references further point to my interpretation. Calling it the feel-good hit of the summer truly points out the temporality and impermanence of all of his promises and intentions. Furthermore, "what if all this was true" shows that even he, in the moment, recognizes that there's a certain wishfulness and intentional blindness when making these promises and professing his out-of-this-world love.
