“In a Perfect World”, the newest song by Dean Lewis, also might be the lead single of his upcoming 3rd album, is the first song to have a feature, which is Julia Michaels.
[Verse 1: Dean Lewis]
I'm so scared of falling
I was in and out, up and down, too afraid to be open
I found myself in you and it made me feel so fucking scared
'Cause, when I am open
All my past and all my pain floats up to the surface
You can even cut me down with a smile, it hurts so bad
[Pre-Chorus: Dean Lewis]
So, I leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
I leave when it gets too good
But
[Chorus: Dean Lewis, Julia Michaels, Dean Lewis & Julia Michaels]
In a perfect world, I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim-lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
Ooh, in a pеrfect world
[Verse 2: Julia Michaels]
Yeah, at least you'rе self-aware, I'll give you some credit
But walking out on something perfect's really stupid, yeah
Baby, I said it
You're so scared of regretting something before you can even regret it
And we could be great, and it would be great if you'd let it, uh
[Pre-Chorus: Julia Michaels, Dean Lewis, Dean Lewis & Julia Michaels]
But you leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
You (I) leave when it gets too good
But
[Chorus: Dean Lewis & Julia Michaels, Julia Michaels]
In a perfect world, I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim-lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
Ooh, in a perfect world
[Bridge: Dean Lewis & Julia Michaels, Julia Michaels, Dean Lewis]
I leave when it gets too good (When it gets too good, you always)
Leave, leave, when it gets too good
Oh, but
[Outro: Dean Lewis & Julia Michaels, Julia Michaels]
In a perfect world, there's just us two
And I let myself get lost in you
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you

Dean Lewis:
When I found out Julia Michaels, and I would be going into the studio, I was so excited!
Julia is widely known as one of the best songwriters in the world, and let me tell you, she certainly lived up to that. Once we were in the studio, I played her my idea – a verse and a chorus. Juli...
