iPhone 5S: Track control from EarPods?

I can't seem to figure out if it's possible to use the EarPod control switch to control track movemements. For example, can I 2x/3x click it to FF/REW or NEXT/LAST? I can Vol +/- and play/pause/Siri, but no track controls. This makes me a sad panda

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1
