I like wanna-Nirvana-wanna tying the first verse to the chorus, but if you're going to do that the structure should come back in the second.
I don't think the Ben Folds-style ba-ba-ba goes very well with the rest of the song, or with the guitar part that comes immediately after it. Maybe it could work into the song if the main piano part were to become more complex, but the guitar really kills it for me.
I think it's good, though, there's a real song in there and it's not too far from the surface.

Eh, too minimalist for me.

I really want the tempo to pick up on the fourth line of the verses rather than the fifth. And I want another verse instead of/after the la-la-las. I like the Perishers-esque sound (though I wouldn't call it folk) and the lyrics are a little cliched but fine. I think if you gave it a third verse with a little more unique personality in the lyrics that would improve it a lot.
