"Everlasting Friend" as written by and Justin Furstenfeld....
A heartbeat skip, relationship
Inside a bubble bath
An icing drip below your lip
So we undo the math
A sudden slip between
My pathetic sedatives
A real-life script of how
Mistakes became our medicine, so
Delay the hurtful words
Of complicated overcast
Please take the message that I'm
Picking up my chin at last
I said my confidence
It gets stronger when you're next to me
But we pray from miles away
In quest for what we long to be
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
But you're my everlasting friend
Everlasting friend
A heartbeat skip, relationship
So we would stay up late
A teardrop drip below your lip
Beside the airport gate
A sudden slip from where
We used to be a year ago
A real-life script of how
Our hands would hold and not let go
But delay the mournful words
Of complicated overcast
Please take the message
That you taught me how to live at last
But I said my confidence
It gets stronger when you're next to me
But we wave respect goodbye
In quest for what we long to be, but
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
But you're my everlasting friend
Will you be coming home?
(Everlasting friend)
My everlasting friend, will you be coming home?
(Everlasting friend)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
I just want to know that you'll be coming home
I just want to know that you'll be coming home
I just want to know that you'll be coming home
I just want to know that you'll be coming home
Inside a bubble bath
An icing drip below your lip
So we undo the math
A sudden slip between
My pathetic sedatives
A real-life script of how
Mistakes became our medicine, so
Delay the hurtful words
Of complicated overcast
Please take the message that I'm
Picking up my chin at last
I said my confidence
It gets stronger when you're next to me
But we pray from miles away
In quest for what we long to be
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
But you're my everlasting friend

The first verse is the old relationship. "An icing drip below your lip" echoes the wedding in "Congratulations" and "we undo the math" is easy enough to equate with the fact that 1+1 doesn't make 2 anymore (more accurately 1 doesn't "+" 1 anymore, if that makes sense to anyone besides me).
The second half of the song is the new relationship. A friend who has become more (A sudden slip from where / We used to be a year ago) and has shown Justin that love is worth the gamble (and the effort).
"I might crumble, I might take a fall again / But you're my everlasting friend" will make perfect sense to anyone in a really good relationship (I mean soul-mate territory, here). I was told before I got married that, if she's the right one, we would become each others' best friend. That is absolutely true, and finding that is worth the chance that something bad could happen on the way.
The story of "Foiled" is that love can happen again with the right person. One of the definitions for foiled means to make something brighter by placing it in the proper, complementary setting, and another is to stop something bad from continuing.
Justin is a genius.
On a personal level, this song reminds me of an old friend who is now working in a foreign country.
