I believe this song is about going through divorce, and afterwards living a little more selfishly because you're creating a new life for yourself. The line "I'll be back in Shake to see how my babies have grown" makes me think of joint custody where one of the parents has moved far away. The line "bring me a team of replacements in case the place I'm taking's my own" sounds like someone who is dating but doesn't rule getting back into a serious relationship, making themselves feel a little cold because they've already had a family and now they're bringing a new mommy or daddy into the picture for their kids to adjust to, or possibly feel abandoned by.
