The lyrics to Brenn!'s song "4Runner" delve into the themes of stagnancy, change, and longing for someone who has moved on. The singer observes that the person they are addressing is still stuck in the same routine, hanging out in places they shouldn't be. On the other hand, the singer admits they are also stuck in their own way, fixated on getting older and living in the past. The mention of the 4Runner symbolizes the person's journey and their decision to leave their hometown behind. The singer questions why this person would want to leave the town and highlights the loneliness they might be experiencing in their new surroundings.

There is a sense of contradiction in the second verse where the singer notes that the person is still doing the same old things, hanging out with people like themselves. However, they express a desire to be bolder and imply that they would rather have this person stay in their hometown. The repetition of the question about the 4Runner signifies the singer's continued curiosity about the person's journey and whether they are still lonely or have experienced any changes.

In the bridge, the lyrics suggest that the person kept wise words from letters and journal entries, indicating that they yearned for change in their life. The singer wonders if they let the person down upon their return, recognizing that something has changed within them as well.

Ultimately, "4Runner" conveys a bittersweet longing for someone who has moved on, highlighting the changes that have occurred in both parties and the struggle to let go of the connection they once had.
