The song is already good as it is. But I think less repetitive lyrics 
would make it even more interesting. For my taste I would rise the level 
of the piano at the end of the track.

I've also some questions. How do you record vocals? They're very clear 
and sit well in the mix. Do you use a vocal booth, or a properly 
isolated and acoustically neutral room? What about the mic (to my ears 
it seems to be a dynamic mic, maybe a sm58)? At what distance from it do 
you sing?
