I feel like its about a mother figure who maybe left his life and he's stuck with a dad who is abusive or just doesn't pay attention to him.
"come sing me a lullaby"
something he probably didnt get to experience as a kid because he doesnt have anybody to do that for him

"will you come around tonight"
waiting for her to arrive because maybe she said she would be back.

"nothing quite hits like you"
appears as having a mother would complete his life and make it how it was when she was a part of his life

"standing there as the man upstairs goes crashing through the ceiling asking where's my cig"

the man upstairs referring to his dad, could be abusive and addicted to drugs or smoking. and saying he has fire in his eyes would mean the dad, he gets angry.

and basically he's sitting by himself waiting by himself with nobody to talk to
