I agree about the late start to the vocal - I had thought it was an instrumental with written lyrics.
Vocally there are some stumbles due to extra syllables and, realistically, some automation, (like ReaTune or similar) could place notes more exactly in the chords.
I think it's a good starting point that, if you listen a few times over your time away, you'll be able to hone to a snappier vocal performance.
