I think Degraw is trying to say girls (or maybe just a girl) need to relax their expectations for a relationship, and just let it happen naturally. Just because a relationship isn't everything a girl dreamed of, doesn't mean it's not worth it.
A relationship isn't a fairy tale ("I'm no knight in shining armor"), and it's not a place for a girl to find some guy to fill her every need and be her dormat ("I'm no pair of dancing shoes").
Really he's saying, don't over think this. Just live it. "Don't push, but don't hesitate".
When he says "I got nothing left to lose, but I'm no pair of dancing shoes", I think he's really just driving it home - I'm not Prince Charming. I don't have it all and just because I'm imperfect doesn't mean I'm going to let you walk all over me.
Still, he really likes her. She just needs to chill and be happy and love the one she's with, so to speak.
i listened to this song today, and what i got out of it is that he is saying that he loves this girl, and he is willing to do anything for her. He wants them to be in this relationship, but she is putting it off. I think that he is basically saying that although he is not perfect, and he has nothing left to lose, he doesn't want to be used for some kind of personal gain on the girls part, like a pair of dancing shoes which get used often.
