It's about being a realist and accepting yourself for who you are; the choices and decisions you made, where you are now, all interconnected. He's obviously reminiscing about multiple relationships with women gone wrong, possibly a divorce or two, and how the aftermath didn't necessarily turn out how he'd hoped or expected it would. Sounds like he's even making references to child custody issues:
"You can see me in the evening
When the weather's cool
But here's a little feedback
You gotta wear the shoes"
And the divorce:
"Now you can have a love life
You have loved me, too
You can see me in the evening
When the weather's cool"
"You gotta wear those shoes" = you have to put in the time and sacrifice to deal with all the BS for things that didn't go to plan.
Life's tough but sometimes you just have to deal with the bed you've made for yourself.
