Nightswimming represents recklessness in general, I think. The singer is wondering if she's wasted all of her best years and if she's too old to goof off a little. I went nightswimming in the ocean a couple months ago, and it really made me feel alive. A lot of the singer's angst could be that they're reconnecting with a feeling they've lost and wondering if they'll ever feel it again.
