I believe this song is about getting caught up in the hustle and bustle. Just "swimming" through life. They are reaching out and telling us there is that light you can swim or (more positively, now that it has been addressed) fly to.
The first verse is describing that feeling of being caught up in it all.
The second, shows the realization that occurs when you find "it" and represents that perspective shift.
The third is the positive support, encouragement, and final words of wisdom before you begin your new journey.
And I believe the chorus is calling out to you:
So I ask you "Why", if I'm swimming by, "don't you see anything that you'd like to try?"
"Why don't you see anything that you'd like to try?" Why are you allowing yourself to get caught up in all of that meaninglessness instead of reaching your true potential?
