Bring the drums in much much earlier, and keep them running the full time. Have a proper drum solo, even if for a mere 6-8 seconds. It does wonders, and it's not a simple "average" composition. Use bass more effectively, no one ever minds a song that starts off bass heavy, ends bass heavy, but was moderate throughout the rest of the song. However, when you start a song with a very mellow piano solo, people expect the highs of the song to be insane, especially with the energy build-up to the instrument additions, but instead, what we get here is a mellow song throughout that never gets a chance to "breathe".
All that aside, the song got boring after the first 5 seconds, because I had to listen to a loop of different instruments playing the same notes over and over, even when it came to the last piano. Instead of having the same notes playing repeatedly, change it up, speed it up, then slow it down, and I'm not talking about using different numbers of instruments to achieve either effects.
