I thought the meaning was pretty clear in the beginning; he wants them to get married but he won't make a step to make it happen. She's really excited about the idea but she thinks he won't actually do anything about it.

@dannytres I kind of feel like she doesn't even want to get married. for example:"Why let the state in our sheets/Can't we do without it?" is one example that I see in the lyrics. It's like saying, "No need to register their marriage, why do it?" IDK, that's what I think anyway.
