I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind these eyes
it feels like more than a lifetime
feels like more than a lifetime
Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
sometimes I get tired of being in here
is this the way it has always been?
could it ever have been different?
Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
do you ever get tired of being in there?
don't worry, nobody lives forever,
nobody lives forever
I have always looked out from behind these eyes
it feels like more than a lifetime
feels like more than a lifetime
Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
sometimes I get tired of being in here
is this the way it has always been?
could it ever have been different?
Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
do you ever get tired of being in there?
don't worry, nobody lives forever,
nobody lives forever

I believe, it's the human soul (whatever you understand by that) speaking to yourself and questioning it's existance. I've been there, sometimes while in deep meditation. Your mind/soul, speaking to yourself, and wondering about how your point of view is the only one you have really known for sure: "I have always been here, I have always looked out from behind this eyes". It "feels more than a lifetime" because you existance is your whole eternity, you haven't experienced what happend before your moment, so your whole life seems your relative forever.
Also, wondering about existance, many times we wonder what will happen after life, and get anxious to find it out: "Sometimes I get tired of the waiting" And by "being in here", means -the body "we" are bound to-.
Then it asks YOU, the listener, If the same happens to you, and then comforts you by reminding that "Nobody lives forever"
But after a long instrumental part, that represents reasoning, IMO, the soul realizes "It's only a lifetime" we have to wait. If theres something granted in life it's that it will end someday, and so, I guess, I'll find out what all this living was about.
You can say the singing is awful, or that the song has no rhythm, whatever... I think this is much more than a simple song. The singing seems like a desperate call to the universe, and a great "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" of Gilmour realizing his own existance.
