I think it's pretty easy to overcomplicate stuff. This is a song about a friend that came to the narrator (or the band) and talked with them "up all night about their falling heart". This person was "leaving a place" (a metaphorical closet).
The person opened up to their mother first and their mother denied them "she knows your face, can do without".
The person is talking with them all night about this conflict, and the receiver(s) of this information are just overjoyed that someone is sharing something so deep, and so personal. The person is "coming out" to the narrator, and the narrator is very sad this person was rejected by family "I know it hurts...when you can't come out", but also extremely happy and grateful they opened up so much "but you brought us up to so high".
The chorus is them telling this person to be optimistic, to be happy "In the middle of the day, We find love". Be yourself and love will happen at the most random of times.
The title, "Hi" is because they feel like they're finally meeting the truest form of this person for the first time.

Two bands actually played for her within those two last days and warpaint was the only band to which she responded. They are amazing, empathic women and my mother holds this song close to her heart, s they told her that Haley would impact their lives. This song is not about conflict or coming out, but a recognition of...
