The Time Has Come
Pokémon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
'Do anything
For you
We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been together
Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life
I'll always remember

The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could've guessed that you and I...
somehow, someday
We'd have to say goodbye.

You've helped me find
The strengh inside
And the courage
To make all my dreams come true
How will I find
Another friend
Like you

Two of a kind
That's what we are
And it seemed
Like we were always winning
But as our team
Is torn apart
I wish we could go
Back to the beginning

The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could've guessed that you and I...
Somehow, some way
We'd have to say goodbye.





Somehow today...
...we have to say goodbye.

They have both been through thick and thin, and the memories they have created will stay with them forever.


The chorus strikes a melancholic tone, emphasizing that the good times have to come to an end. The lyrics express how there was no way that they could have predicted that their friendship would come to an end. Despite feeling like they could take on the world together, they must say goodbye to each other. The second verse highlights how the friend has helped the singer find their inner strength and have the courage to achieve their dreams. The friend's departure will leave a void, and the singer wonders if they will find another person like them.
