The vocal come across well and the guitars sound nice and clear however the Bass is booming and completely obliterating the kick.  Back off on the bass add a bit of surgical EQ to it to let the kick add the bottom end weight and thud.
 
Good start which is always a good place a few tweaks here and there and you probably have a winner.

First, I really like the song.  It me it has sort of a "grunge meets George Harrison" vibe I find very appealing.  As for the mix others guys on this forum will give you more in depth thoughts than I am able to, but it seems to me that the acoustic guitar is really competing with the electric lead (an example would be at :19 when the lead comes in). Maybe turn it down a tad?   Also, the lead vocal is very well sung, but I find it a bit too out front, so maybe turn it down a bit.  These are both just niggles and only my very subjective opinion. 
 
Best of luck to you with your music.
