Discover the story of the song > Nobody Smokes Anymore – Robert Ellis

The lyrics are about the protagonist feeling alone because nobody smokes anymore. He is trying to find a lighter and feels like everyone else has their life figured out. He talks about how nobody has fun anymore and how the last years of life are terrible, but he doesn't really care because he wants to smoke anyway. He feels like he'll be the only one who looks good in pictures and has any fun because nobody smokes anymore. It's a bummer that good things always have to end.
