I think this song is about being alone in a big city. It seems strange in that kind of position, but the fact of the matter is, no matter how busy you are, things are a bit more hollow and empty without somebody to crawl home to at the end of the day. Things feel a bit bigger and less friendly.
'And my lungs hurt
And my ears bleed
With the sound of the city life.'
Also the 'What I do isn't up to you' gives me the impression that it's somebody that's just moved out of home. Defying their parents.
And they've found themselves a little bit alone. That line about finding company 'when I need it' really hits home. But you can't back out, it'll only just proves your parents right. So you struggle on with life.
