"Company" is noun here used to talk about being with a person/people, or to describe the person/people you are with. So the song is saying that it "sounds like you want me to be with you". Ex: I really enjoy his company. (I enjoy being with him) Ex: I enjoy my own company. (I like being alone) Ex: I didn't realise you had company. (I didn't realise you were with someone).
