First impression--the acoustic is thin and bright, and has lots of pick noise. Often this kind of sound on an acoustic works great in a full mix--helps the acoustic stand out above heavier instruments like drums, bass & electrics. But when the acoustic is the central component, I think it should be fuller and richer.

If you've EQ'd the guitar to sound that way--try it without. But if that's the natural sound you got when you tracked, you should probably retrack and play with mic placement to get a more full sound out of the acoustic.
 
I agree with the guitar being thin and bright. Also, I'm hearing too much of the room on your vocals. I would experiment with reverb. Great song though!
 
Can't add much to what the others have said, other than to say it's really nice song and suited the simple production.
