When you wrote this, did you have a particular tune in mind? Did you work out the meter and pacing in your head? Or did you write as the words came to you, planning on working the rest out later?
I ask because your line lengths and syllabic flow are all over the place. Short lines, long lines, smooth lines, and awkward ones. It doesn't feel like you had a SONG in mind so much as a blank verse POEM.
Oh, and "stuff" is a really, really weak word. Probably best not to use it unless it happens to fit really well.
