All writing is a process of revision. The hardest part is getting the whole thing written down, and when it comes out cliché you can always just change it.

Precisely. Keeping your original thought to the end of the lyric and then altering the whole thing as you see fit rather than sweating so much over the opening line. I've been doing this a lot with the few songs I've been writing lately, and it works a lot better. Also makes for a much more lucid lyric when all's said and done.
