Cool tune bro, sounds great. Guitars nice and clean, vocal crisp, drums sound great.
During the chorus, you should try a harmony on just "all night" (end of second line) I think it would jump out and sound awesome, worth experimenting, I kept hearing it in my head every time.
If I was you, I would put that hi-hat just off center, like 20%. I know you like LCR, but even the guys who are known for it, like Chris Lord-Alge, his hats are still always a tad off center, even though he's LCR. Either the hats are the one exception he makes, or he just keeps hi-hat mics center, and when combined with the OH mics it puts the hats a tad off-center because of the angle of the two OH mics, which are obviously hard-panned L&R. As an example, pick any Green Day tune from the Trilogy (Uno, Dos, or Tre), American Idiot, 21st Century (all Chris Lord-Alge, who is LCR, and the hats are all a tad off-center) When the hats are all the way left like that, they feel somewhat removed from the rest of the kit, when they should feel like they are close to the middle, but a little off. On a real kit, they are literally just left of the snare (drummer perspective)
All in all, great song and mix as always.
I think I mentioned this to you before, but look into the Slate Everything Bundle, you'd absolutely love it. $15 a month for every plug-in he makes. I've had it for 6 months now and it's fantastic. I also bought his VMS condenser mic for a grand, best mic I've ever owned, comes with killer software too. Look it up, it's awesome.
